The Devil's Sword
Politicians are the devil's foot soldiers.
The media hones their swords.
They crush the walls of our faith.
To them, our tomorrow is a disposable baby
conceived in the rage of rape.
They yearn to guzzle power.
Always putting knees to our necks.
They play us like broken piano wires
and we dance straight into the purring fire.
We've invited their poison into our veins
our discomfort has always been 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 hone their swords.
