One and the same
Masters of war
Masters of deciet
Masters of robbing your people
You left them gasping for breath and lying in the streets spare a coin spare a coin
You left them with no other choice as everything grew smaller around them shrinking fast
The poor stayed poor while the rich grew rich
The sick grew sicker and eventually
they died
The hungry stayed hungry and eventually
they died
The thirsty stayed thirsty
they died
You were everywhere in your secret agents and ruthless police
The people had no choice the people were faced with a choice
Die for the future or barely live in the present
Some came because they needed to had to have revolution
Some they came out some over the cover of darkness
Some they came out under the shadow of a bueracracy
Some came because they needed to had to have revolution
Some came because the world had stood by and watched as their children died by becoming just like them and they hated it
Watching the world as the world watched while their children remained illeterate staying there staying in the same place
they watched as they grew sicker because the rich afforded health care and thats it and with no doctors there was no hope
Their hope withered and died died died died died died died
The people the average people who saw what other countries were getting
and what they weren’t
It could just as easily be the 1700’s again
As they took to the streets dying for the future dying for their children
Faced mobs because they knew they were right and the masters of opression were wrong
Took to the streets and for some there was change
For some there was a stubborn old man determined to hold on to power
So he does the easiest thing he turns the guns on his own people
Its not like there lives were gonna get any better anyway
he had made sure of that he had made sure of that he had made sure of that
So they came out in the streets dying by the multitudes for their people
Here in America we have forgotten about how we came to be
Revolution, Liberty Bell, Fighting
We were not supposed to win the Contenintal Army was supposed to be defeated
but they won they had a desire for things to get better for things to change in their country
Sound familiar??
Sound like one and the same??
