The Pebble
The Pebble
The world is burning, needs must be done
If we don’t act now it will all be gone
The blanket of green from ages past
Is torn asunder as we move to fast
In the head long race ruin our home
We destroy and kill what we have on loan
Justice can see and the guilty go free
Just as long as they can pay her fee
Blind no longer, her scale is tipped
The fabric of freedom is torn and ripped
Fragrant grease is the cost of living
But the honest man is the one that’s giving
We have suffered for all their sins
We’re grounded while they sprout wings
The prime and presiding throw us spin
With all their free reign, all their tin
We are but children in their eyes
Unable to decide we live their lies
The complacent man upon his fence
His perfect view of our defence
Strike him and he’ll turn his cheek
He maybe righteous, but he is weak
Him and his kind will drag us down
Through all the sickness so will drown
And so the time has come my dear
Step up now, brave your darkest fear
Take up arms and do what we must
Give us the gun that will not rust
An army of right in a world of wrong
A wave of justice irresistibly strong
Like a juggernaut of falling stone
Descending alike on office and throne
Crushing evil like a boot to a roach
A swarm of justice beyond reproach
Initialized by just a pebble or two
The pebble’s not I, the pebble is you
