Poem
You Know How It Works Remember, You Can Only Be Nice When Your Friends Aren't Around I am rocking the boat just as hard as I can while you pretend that you don't have a clue You thought he was kneeling, with no other feeling just trying to tie a loose shoe A coincidence happened, "really how odd" the "Anthem was playing" (our song) Veterans in stands were making demands but snubbed by the useless (how wrong) Heros stood up, zeros knelt down forcing the rest do the same And by the third week the NFL meek had gone anti-American with shame Many excuses as to why they all knelt just look who was forced to obey The flags that they wave at every parade they're claiming they just want their say They march to the beat of a different gun law and order, respect (out the door) They're bringing the streets to the NFL just won't be the same anymore I've said many times in all walks of life that the good will out-number the bad If the only solution is fear so they join you then children won't love you, that's sad You're torn between labels, maybe "Tom" maybe "Sam" both bringing embarassment to you Feeling safe with your buddies when riots are on we won't burn our own homes, nor will you I am rocking the boat just as hard as I can no one fishing, is taking the bait Appeasing is pleasing, afraid to be tagged they won't let you stand, you must hate. GOD BLESS AMERICA MY AMERICA Pete Yuhas
