Once the religious, the hunted and weary
chasing the promise of freedom and hope
came to this country to build a new vision
far from the reaches of kingdom and pope.
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches.
Later some got slaves to gather riches,
Once the ties with the crown had been broken
westward in saddle and wagon we went.
Until the railroad linked ocean to ocean,
many the lives which had come to an end.
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland,
we began the slaughter of the red man,
but still from near and far to seek America
they came by thousands to court the wild
and she just patiently smiled and bore a child
to be their spirit and guiding light.
The blue and gray they stomped it,
they kicked it just like a dog,
and when the war was over
they stuffed it just like a hog.
Although the past had it's share of injustice,
kind was the spirit in many a way,
but it's protectors and friends have been sleeping,
Now it's a monster and will not obey.
The spirit, it was freedom and justice
and it's keepers seemed generous and kind.
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
but now they don't pay it any mind
because the people grew fat and got lazy.
Now their vote is a meaningless joke.
We babble about law and order,
but it's all just an echo of what we've been told.
The cities have turned into jungles
and corruption is strangling the land.
The police force is watching the people.
and the people just can't understand,
that we don't know how to mind our own business
because the whole world has to be just like us.
Now we are fighting a war over there
and no matter whose the winner, we can't pay the cost,
because there's a monster on the loose
and it's got our heads inside a noose.
America, where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know that we need you now?
We can't fight alone against the monster.
Sometime soon many of you may get kicked around some.
Who knows, maybe you'll get picked up taken away and held for treason.
One day soon many of you will be picked at random
and all who supported you will revel in their abandon.
Everyone appears to be right on coarse
of blindly following our leaders and accepting their wars
while our children continue to get slayed in the name of fighting terrorists.
A War That Will Never End, that's what this is.
Everyone still refuses to see
how we're all losing our civil liberties.
Well, it doesn't really matter to me
if I'm seen as a tin foil hat wearing paranoid of conspiracy theories
or if I'm seen as the unknown, unpatriotic enemy
because everybody has always had to fight to live free
and I refuse to live my life as a refugee.
I can't spell it out any more clearly,
The Bush's are major conglomerates of the oil and weapons manufacturing industry.
They possess billions upon billions of dollars in contracts with the military
and are opting for, if not already a total oil industry monopoly.
So who benefits from this war on terror truly?
Who does indeed? Who does indeed?
The time is here for the world to see
Just what it has become-
A nation under seize and war in which
To safety cannot run.
Innocent be the children with no future to behold.
So young the little victims; and yet,
So very old.
So, it states in Revelations that in so coming ,
It shall pass
To unfold the manifestation, humanity in itself
May not last.
Decision lay upon us, united as a nation or a whole
Be gone with war and criminals and in so doing,
No console.
Passivity is our ruin if we succumb belligerent lives
And in so doing, our hearts, souls and minds
We compromise.
It’s not through evil ways that true evolution
May take place
But in harmony in influence on every scale,
For every race
