Parliamentary

I sometimes sit and try to wonder
What life would be like without the thunder.
A challenge comes with each new day
More bad than good I cannot say.
I take them on one by one
I think I forgot life was fun.

People in suits seem to decide for me
What they think is my destiny.
Sat like school kids bickering and fighting
How come they never feel the lightning.
Both sides of the house has become corrupt
Their plans we can't interrupt.
Two sets of wings from the same bird
We argue and fight while they laugh at the herd.

Sheep we have all become 
A two party system we must be dumb.
They do not care for our sick or old
Only filling their pockets with gold.
We follow along with hope and we pray
That something will change one day.
The only way to change a damn thing
Is to fight them in their ring.
Show the people the truth and their lies
Lay it bare before their eyes.

In 60s the people, they surrendered
It was almost a time the world remembered.
Of what it means to be a human being
Peace and love they started feeling
Now we're back at square one
The elite are still having their fun.
Start some wars for power and gold
I'll tell you the truth, it needs to be told.

But now we have the internet you and me
The power of the world we all can see.
Over a million faces all looking the same
They've had enough they're fighting the game.
Join earths army you really should
We do what we can, we done what we could.

Tho against their laws we act
Their not lawful check this fact.
Agree you must for these acts to be in forced
Their only parliamentary endorsed.
Our people have fought for our rights before
How much more do we have to endure.
