Political Angst

I'm tired of all this noisy and pointless
Commotion
Enough money to hold back the tides of all the world's
Oceans

The animals in Washington fight and feast
On the flesh of those they represent
Their children aren't at war, but my brothers are
How do they intend on repaying the dead?

You let them die for profit and greed
Justifying that it's what the other people need
What about us?
What about the people back home?



The humanoids in the street are growing tired and
Restless
Fill them with anti-depressants and render them all
Senseless

All the posturing and rhetoric
And we're still coming undone
I'm not interested in your politics
I just want it all to come
Crashing down
Around you



Where's the talk of anarchy?

Where's our sense of liberty?

When are we going to rise up and take back
What rightfully belongs to me
And you?

They've already dealt the first blow
And there's only so much left
We can do



You speak of freedom
And equality
I don't buy what you believe in
It don't mean much to me


You took away my guns
And my ability to speak
You took away my drugs and gave me medication
Are you trying to make me weak?


You stole my freedom

You sold my freedom



I won't stand for this anymore
I'm building up my words and ammunition
I'll fight my own war



You stole my freedom

You sold my freedom

You stole my freedom

You sold my freedom



"I am a human being, goddammit!
My life has value!"



"I am as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
