Black and Blue

I am not asking for much during my moment Just a little breathing room, let me vent There are corrupt politicians, crooked cops, greasy palms Honesty and truth for once is what I really want I want to know what's inside you I bet you are mostly black and blue Religious fanatics claiming human lives in the name of Allah Determined by who draws the shortest straw Oil rich nations with their dirt poor starving people dying Blind eye from our own government, homeless, President lying Meth labs, crack houses, drug dealers are becoming more common than convenience stores Police raid, blue light special, all this action is right next door The neighbors don't socialize, so they haven't got a clue I guess everyone's house is a little black and blue It will be nice to see a fresh face in the oval office Maybe stop the governors with hookers and all the other lawlessness We all keep pushing for a better tomorrow Lock up those who steal, help those who beg and give a break to those who borrow Cut through the chase, hone the blade, keep it true But there are no real answers to prevent the black and blue
