Once It's Over and Done

Once freedom vanishes down the broader way And shoulders start to droop, sore backs are sure to pay Once fingers grip and dig, then lust for a stronger hold Hearts tend to falter and “ The Titled” become prudish and bold Weakness welcomes the pride of a wicked, controlling state Men strive to mask the policies, hiding conditions they already hate Standing to yield to corruption with a hand that salutes the brow Risking their future to tow the line, and only if the governor allows Once it’s over and done, freedom will never again revive It's like a mean bronco bucking high, many find it hard to ride Once it’s over and done and a great country looks back on the vote Memories coveted from another time when people weren’t ordered to cope Words spoken by the insane yet, passing over with hardly a wink The trainer repeats his message, the chain breaks at the weakest link Lies and deceit are sure to wear and unravel like a ball of twine But the damage is done, all is lost, given over to a reprobate mind
