Milk and Honey

The land of milk and honey now only in your dreams Was stolen by the masses who think it's free, it seems They say it's just a "band-aid" till "we get on our feet" But first we must, meet their demands or they protest in the street The protests turn to riots the looting now begins Destroying all that milk and honey getting back at us for "sins We should have listened to their cries how could we, turn away They only want what they deserve and now we'll have to pay Illegals come to help them their bread and butter card Immigrants are joining in we made their life so hard The bridge cards that we gave them they call them plastic gold The government won't rescind them they'd rather they be sold You walk away still wondering how they're used for smokes and beer And other things that are taboo unchanged year after year Excuse replaced integrity with the never ending lies It can not stop, there is no end The storm that never dies.....

Well done Pete. To bad 'knowledge is power' is not as powerful as "indoctrination makes one powerless"
