martyrdom for freedom what's the true price?
when they install a liberty-killing device
address the congress: they don't take advice
it's three A.M.: answer the call
the picket line will soon be wall to wall
no time to trust: reserves have gone bust
falling short in the long term
quickly we are concerned
at the way everything has turned
it's a fairness doctrine
another curtail of talkin'
plain speech will now breech
the securities of those in reach
no more 1st amendments
our government are the parents
a nation of children
cut loose from the building
lowering the glass ceiling
seditious acts that are crippling
to think freely and speak the same
blood tainted in the vein
we've got to stop being constrained
it should be, simple, clear, and plain
standing up leaves only freedom to gain.
it's up to our dignity to restore liberty
harass the vigilante: it is the authority
we must speak out with clarity
get past the gravity
we keep destruction on the tip of tongues
another government guided without guns
the people won't stand up
but they'll kneel on knees for luck
it's another let-down
freedoms being stolen without sound
and now I'm choking, addressing the whole town
we choose not to fight
because police will read the Mirada right
we forget they work for us
taxes pay the pension of those who are 'just'
political action figurines
on sale, next to our values and intrigues
when do we draw the line of command
just another castle in the sand
falling with the tide
telling us to abide
no questions as to how we came to unite
not a one party system
but an angry dream in the vision
revolution is required
for us to achieve what we desire
by hook or by crook
revolution we will cook
in the kitchen of anarchy
another capitalist vision, not insanity
free to form to the vision of fore-fathers
step up to the plate and let us protect our daughters
fight fire with fire and don't slip the desire
earned in blood, an earned empire
of free thought, it's inequality we fought
address discrepancy, forgive the vanity
approach with caution, the ever-lasting right
to bear speech with freedom and arms with might
fascism blind-sides like accidents of plain sight
we've got to renovate
stand up against what they eviscerate
we've got to contemplate:
what is the politician's plate?
another way to confiscate expression
is what they envision
when did the bill of rights become a privilege?
when did freedom revert to a vision?
why are we so docile?
why aren't we hostile?
revolutions happen in a curious way
there's one objective to obtain
~History and timing are important. So are the bill of rights.
Love,
Digress.
