Wicked Ways

Listen for a moment
Here's what I believe
The media and government
Is only here to deceive

Lies upon lies
As our country dies
But everyone is blinded
And deaf to all the cries

Thinking we have a say
On how the big boy's play
Is like saying it is night
In the middle of the day
Crazy dreams and deadly scenes
Think the U.S. is full of treason
Going to war
But why? Give me a reason

There's more behind the curtains
Than anybody knows
All one big show
The motto's keep it on the low

I'm hoping that sometime
Someone will fix this craze
Please let the truth come out
And change your wicked ways

True words! I completely agree. No better way to call attention to this problem then through pure art. Thank you for sharing! -Molly
