The Time Is Now
If there were ever a time for all voices to be heard
That time is now as we see our world faced with the absurd
Depraved madmen killing innocents has become a daily occurrence
Bought and paid for politicians; so much for honest civil servants
No real leaders in sight as we are bombarded with nonstop cable news
Sorting out the egregious from the asinine as we listen to their views
The problems are many and the obstacles are almost uncountable
But if we can find the resolve it's been said that no objective is insurmountable
Consider this a wake-up call for all you poor and disenfranchised middle class
It's time to demand that true Democracy be restored; band together kick some ass
If those that hate us and those that repress us think we will roll over and play dead
Think again as we have a big surprise for those that would "sleep in the devil’s bed"
