Protect the Deam

Some people out there
run their mouth without care,
don’t know history,
think this a tragedy.
So good we have it,
but still they talk sh-t,
empty and hollow,
demand others follow.
If life’s not perfect
they think they can reject,
throw out all the good,
and declare that they should;
trying to fill voids
only God could enjoin,
their bitterness grows
until joy they can’t know.

We built the dream,
know what it means,
have to live free,
it’s our damn birthright.
Here hope prevailed,
tyranny failed,
ignore their wails,
join in the good fight.
Done with their squawking,
socialistic talking,
nuts…
They murdered Charlie,
you know they’d do it to
us…

Some people in life
have to reject what’s right,
it highlights inside
what they hope to hide;
cannot self-reflect,
so they have to project,
that’s how they deflect
from a soul that’s been wrecked.
Some people, you see,
elevate jealousy,
think it justifies
tearing down those who try.
It makes their life hell,
can’t keep it to themselves,
try to pull us all down,
that we cannot allow.

We built the dream,
know what it means,
have to live free,
it’s our damn birthright.
Here hope prevailed,
tyranny failed,
ignore their wails,
join in the good fight.
Done with their whining,
bullying through crying
crap…
Cutting on children
nobody can tolerate
that…

We built the dream,
know what it means,
have to live free,
it’s our damn birthright.
Here hope prevailed,
tyranny failed,
ignore their wails,
join in the good fight.
Never say sorry
for building the very
best…
If they could hack it
they wouldn’t settle for
less…
