I'm inspired by their bravery
To root out the truth and lies
To help the ignorant people
Tear the wool off of their eyes
I admire their fearlessness
To fight the blatant perversity
Of our corporate owned government
Despite all the adversity
They hold people accountable
They challenge the propriety
Of the sell-out politicians
In our so-called moral society
They expose all the corruption
The fear mongering media conceals
By empowering us with the facts
And not the propaganda wheels
Some think that they're too liberal
Some think they're overzealous
These "some" are "the establishment"
And I think they're just jealous!

Dedicated to Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, and everyone behind the amazing TYT Network, the only news I trust!
