Grow Your Own Representation

Taxation, taxation
Where's the representation
Funds are culled, pooled, and drained
Promises abandoned
By the figures in office, on paper
Doing thing people elected
But never considered or voted 

Let's form our own colony
Regulate or own affairs
Simply as responsible humans
No need for watchdog lair

Our interests are not monied
But to perpetuate quality
Reorganize the state
Until it serves our fate
