What Goes Around Comes Around

We watched and listened for many years
To all the "wise ones" who ground their gears,
"Just do as I say, not as I do
And I will be the leader of you."

Well, we followed them, like lemmings, all
And now we see how they've made us fall.
We're in a great mess with so much less
But none of the culprits will ever confess.

That day is on the way when they will all pay
And the honest competent will have their way,
For as you know "What goes around comes around",
When they no longer will keep us down on the ground.
