The Devil's Sword
Politicians are the devil's foot soldiers
and the media hones their swords.
They crush the walls of our faith
to them our tomorrow is just another baby
conceived in the rage of rape.
They play us like broken piano wires
and we dance for them straight into the purring fire.
There's much good being done out there
but you'll never hear it from the press.
Politicians yearn to guzzle power
they've always put their knees on our necks.
We've invited their poison into our veins
our discomfort has always been for their gain.
Wake up folks they're playing ball and jacks in our heads
and shell games with our peace and happiness.
Politicians are the devil's foot soldiers
and the media hones their swords.
