Capitalism and Fascism
Their ships dot the oceans all over the world
armed with missiles and bombs for a fight
The two are opposed on every idea
each one thinks that their way is the right
But both are two sides of the same dirty coin
where money and power control
One uses carrot and one uses fear
different ways to achieve the same goal
The fascists all do it with physical force
as they threaten with violence and fear
A nation of robots to run into fires
they are pawns sent by kings, every year
The capitalists use a most different approach
as their power exists on the Hill
Where donors make laws via people we pay
and the taxpayers foot every bill
Both Parties are playing the same donor game
so the Congress is owned heart and soul
By the wealthy who sell all the products we buy
to have more is their permanent goal
The facade which America always projects
is unraveling before our eyes
The oil and the sugar and gun industries
the loopholes, legalese and the lies
The people are hungry for more than just food
they want fairness and truth in their lives
As a country so rich, has them stand on bread lines
to ensure that their family survives
