CAMARADERIE by Tom Jensen
Today… celebrities are grown on trees
The toxicity of publicity has begun rubbing off on me
I’m complicit, I’m right up in it
It’s just as delicious as it is vicious
Some grow suspicious, still they solicit
Gotta scratch that itch
Every time they visit
Oh how they miss it
Oh how they miss it
History has foretold
All you need’s a toehold
Turn it into a chokehold
Wrestle away control
Starts slow then behold…
A flag slides up the pole
As their eyes grow ice cold
From behind the blindfold...
For you see...
The camaraderie between authority
Can’t be good for you and me
Their banner used to be
Die to protect and serve
Now suddenly we’re the enemy
And a shallacking is what we deserve
Oh…don’t be black at night
Or piss poor and white
And f*ck every Muslim
Sunni AND Shiite (it shite!)
He cracked a smile
As his baton raised
He watched the trickles of blood
Begin running down your face
That’s if you see it
If not - a drone
Now you’re no longer
Home sweet home alone
As you’re resting in pieces
That’s when you see it
An oligarchy disguised as democracy
Takes your liberty in the name of freedom
We’re gettin jacked and taxed to the max
It’s no fun - more war’s instore - another one’s just begun
Why? Peace in the Middle East don’t sell guns
When it comes to killing and dying
The weapons we’re supplying
Are number one!
So line up your shillings and come get some
And yell, “Run, b*tch, run ‘cause here I come!”
Allies and enemies change daily
So check for prices
Find for your name
On the naughty or nice list
See who sold out -
We all got our vices
You wanna make money?
First know that peace is priceless!
There’s those who’ve been told and sold there’s more money in death
Even if you blow up sh*t until there’s nothin’ left...Ain’t got no respect
Ain’t.
got.
no.
respect.
