The Dismantling of the All-Powerful Land of Liberty

You know, they say thou shalt not steal And thou shalt not kill But everything that seemed fictional Has now become real Send kids overseas To fix the governments mistake Guns and bombs exploding Is how they shall wake Taking what you can And looking up to false idols Giving back broken promises And livin like supermodels Changin the words of the Bible To fit your needs and wants And destroyin everyone's morals With you fake publicity stunts Letting terrorists into our country Because we're the land of the free Makin room for illegal immigrants And havin American residents flee Everything today is prejudice And everyone has a certain right What happened to free speech? Can I even write this since I'm White? It all boils down to money And who is the greater power But is it really going to matter When you're down to your final hour? So keep rewriting the Constitution And coming up with more laws To the thieves that are in control You all deserve an applause
