It's Time
It's Time

It's time we stood up for ourselves, very well could be too late
We the people's lack of interest may have sealed our selfish fates
Less than half are taking part in going to the polls
The Super Pacs are buying votes and with them all our souls
If you have a lack of interest, you're not really helping out
If you're not going to the polls, don't complain and ***** and shout
About self centered politicians who do nothing once they're there
They were elected by the minority and what you've gotten's only fair
Stand up and make your voices heard; vote who you've found is best
For supporting what you stand for and to hell with all the rest
You will find it is not easy to find some truth of note
For most will tell you anything to get your important vote
Sources for political news are slanted their own way
Sort through the things they tell you; could be truth in what they say
Many don't report the news, report their own beliefs as fact
If someone finds it isn't true, later on they can retract
Do research on the internet. you don't have to leave your house.
Sift through and you should find the truth; be a lion and not a mouse
When you think you've found someone who can help us with this mess
Tell all your friends about them, don't back off and don't digress
Go to the polls when open and vote who you have found
Make sure your friends go also; citizens and duty bound
Then watch who is elected; they're representing you and me
Make them do the people's bidding; for they are not royalty.
