Choosy Heroes
Brace for all that comes
With Imperial boastful pride
Spite the lies and accept the cries
Forgotten children in poorer nations
left for dead as we "save" the chosen
scenarios more profitably woven
Choosy heroes throwing weight
force-feeding our great....
Creating damsels to save
Claiming ourselves brave
And our most torrid lover makes it's work force slave?
A billion strong, making our beloved electronics
Finding no fault in their volatile faultline tectonics
Seeing no harm in rulers souls black like onyx
Wittling a public into compliant sculptures
cloaking intentions to rob earths flesh like vultures
The true crime is using our patriotism as a weapon
misleading true hearts with purposeful deception
A country full of wonderful people
Unaware of the greed driven evil
