Politician : Policy : Police

Let Freedom ring

They'll be listening

Incarcerating American citizens

For peering in the closet

At the skeletons they've been hiding

In grand ole' America

A beacon for democracy

Across the globe

As we sink our asses

Into couch cushions

While they wipe theirs

With the Constitution

Trillion dollar budgets to arm the government

For its campaign against our rights

But we'll pay, we always do

And they'll stay

In plain view

Documenting

Deciding

Playing God to our leper colony

Let Freedom ring

They'll be listening

Armed and ready

To snuff it out

Wherever it grows

Selling our souls to their corporate sponsors

All because we signed them over

In exchange for protection

The great Government racket

Insurance against catastrophes

Caused by their hands

But we play our parts quietly

Chasing a carrot we'll never eat

And that's all we'll ever need

When they're holding the reins

Let Freedom fucking ring

When they break down your front door

Throw your family on the floor

Sentence you to twenty five to life

For Improper Speech

Think it isn't coming?

Then keep voting them in

Naively hoping that this is

The one who will be different

While the rich get richer

And the poor keep feeding

On scraps, trying to avoid the traps

That line the streets

Let Freedom fucking ring

We'll lie here, Pavlov's dogs

Licking our master's boots

And staring vacantly

Medicated into complacency

Til we learn to love the taste of shit

And the sign on the Statue of Liberty says

'Give me your tired masses I haven't collected enough taxes yet

To cover my spending habits.'
