You Crane, In Vain
You crane, your neck
To follow
Our cash
You crane, your neck
To see were
It went
You crane, your neck
And know that
It’s trashed
They spend our checks
Pocket’s
Picked and spent
You crane, your head
When they say
Trust us
You crane, your head
For some
Truth to glean
You crane, your head
At blatant
Injustice
War zones turn red
From dollars
Once green
You crane, your neck
At their
Power schemes
You crane, your neck
To have
A say
You crane, your neck
At youth’s
Broken dreams
As the bombs wreck
Their light
Fades away
