Brave New World

Propaganda, major tool of the New World
   Magazines, news stations, news papers, give us their course
   Illusion of free speech
   All come from the same source

    Banking power elite PRINT currency paper
    Trillions and trillions they loan
    Pocket trillions in INTEREST for twiddling their thumbs
    United States of America changed into United Slaves of America, I groan

     Internal Revenue Service their collection agent
     All money pays INTEREST on national debt to the banks
     While the slaves keep working 
     Saving for retirement that is eaten by inflation, no thanks

     Keep working slaves, this is a Brave New World
     Maybe Trump can fix this mess
     Follow Constitution, put Bankers in jail
     We voters won't accept anything less
