Constituted Corruption
Since dawn of time, mankind always fought authority
Rulers of nations, king's they call themselves
Always wanting to build upon a foundation
Like a bully, a thief in night's mist
Pushing greed of their own selfishness
Their hands, soft as birth of a child
A clamor, expression to everyday society life
They send forth their envoy, talk's of talk
How things negotiate to rules and regulations
What is it one wants to be pay for nothing
Their nails, not ever known the soil of smell
Freedom, where is it one man has ever live?
Except his opinionated belief of his own ambition
Change not constitution, equal to man; how long thou nose growth
We bend to please what is condoned wrong
Constituted corruption, just cause you say it to be so
Trees bring breath, we kill off everyday
Our desires for knowledge feeding our thirst
Do we progress or just die over and over again
Polluting the lands in unbelievable amounts
What is purpose that I lead the journey
Except their eyes as deaf as thou ears
Where is it life has gone from past days
That I grow constituted corrupt, befallen to a world
Or standing strong one man's faith in humanity
Where as Jesus walked his path to redemption
I now know how he felt, like fighting losing battle
But giving himself to God and country to death's last breathe
Constituted Corruption, where freedom rings reigns of the living
