From First To Third World

When our Government Controls Everything

Beware of those you may call friend the crisis is not here
When everything is "Government Free" there will be much to fear

Supplies run short, all shelves are bare No water, food nor gas
Panic feeds the desperate ones they soon become the mass

No longer civil, (hate steps in) the mobs now out of hand
Will riot and loot, take everything before you make your stand

Could be like Venezuela maybe somewhere down the road
The sponges (those that never work) and ones that feel they're owed     

If you have something that they want, you may or may not miss
doesn't matter friend or not in a crisis just like this

They won't care, you worked and saved that isn't their persuasion
they'll take everything you have it's called a home invasion

Haves and (have-nots everywhere) both bitter till the end
Our Country's slowly going down hill, beginning? Who knows when.
