The Dmv Effect

Designed by the man,
extortion from subjects.
Who gave you the right
to adjudicate effects?
We pay your wage
for treatment of cattle.
We stand in your lines
to pay our yearly shackle.
Payment for own property,
on which, you've thrown a saddle.
Your strong men sit smugly.
Traitors of the revolution.
Taxing without representation.
Coffers full, forced by institution.
How dare you charge me.
Payment for property, already mine.
Failed promises of what's bought.
War machine payed by tax and fine.
Keep pushing corporate politico!
Soldiers gather, backed into a wall.
Who is going to defend you
when justice arrives to the ball?
Our system makes it so easy,
as to which side we will choose.
With numbers growing steadily,
we've grown weary of the fools.
My house and mine,
the decision has been made.
We don't recognize your rules.
I'll recover what's been overpaid.
Are there any true terrorists,
or just oppressed majority?
Those who won't vote for you,
crushed by assumed authority.
An entire country 
built on the back of a slave.
Promised freedom, murdered some.
Lied to ensure their enclave.
You're not the greatest country.
That time has passed. 
Look at the stats.
This carriage has become a travesty.
Better change fast.
Your current stance,
won't stand to last.
Stop frisking our economy.
