Lazyocracy

society is easy
where's the world gone today?
nobody cares either way
society is easy
pony up a check or two
pay the government its dues
taxes are stealing?
taxes are what's keeping you free

society is brutal
in its non-brutality
someone dies and all's forgotten
how millions were murdered decades away
society is easy
but everyone's still got some reason to complain
