Such Noble Thieves

We live in savage times so tough
With open socialists elected
On promises of more free stuff
As all around fools are subjected

Everyone in huddled masses
With faces blank in dark veiled threat
Sitting on their passive asses
Hands open like an expectant pet

Everyone knows it’s expected
How the value of these hollow suits
Grows with every dime collected
With our necks beneath their dirty boots

Oh noble lords we submit now
To the brazen theft that you impose
And even as we smile and bow
Start our rebellion under your nose

When the day comes for the takers
To account at last for all you stole
Be prepared to meet your makers
And serve us for life without parole.
