Toll

I pay the money in the toll booth so I can reach manhattan This act takes a toll on my wallet I turn on the T.V Mid September 2001 Seeing air planes flying into a buildings Took a toll on my hope Back to the future now Iraq solders dying now Bombing lil kids just for that oil Economy falling lower Thus my respect for bush is down to zero It's taking a toll knowing that my vote won't Erase the pain he's caused Were his toy solders marching just for him Dying,lying in dirt,crying just for him It's taking a toll on the families Who visit the cemetery and see numerous flags Their son wasn't unique He died in a heap just like the rest Just puddy in Bush's hands It's taking a toll on my conscience They say if you watch evil being done Your just as bad But am I suppose to feel bad Cause I can't impeach him as president? All this hatred is taking it's toll Teaching New York city kids to loath I wish it all could go Twinkling stars above I refer to nursery rhymes as I pray Cause I fear the next toll will deplete our souls I'm afraid...
