HERESY SPEAKS NO EVIL By Tom Jensen
Government sponsored torture
is kind of hard to ignore
Especially when you're held prisoner
of a misguided war
Lobbyists sit with
wads of cash in their fists
For any politicians who
find it too hard to resist
Seems that tax cuts
for corporations
and also the rich
Is the only way to build
true bipartisanship
For our money system
The Fed is privately owned
Backed by paper not gold
And everyday us indebt
wage slaves are sold
When you're afraid of
not being afraid
The "terrorists" win
Their best weapon is fear
They watch our civil liberties
become stripped away so fast
through the most unpatriotic of acts
Soon we won't be able to
speak, see or hear
If this is the state of the union
I think a state of emergency
should be declared
On second thought...
that's not such a great idea
And I haven't even
gotten to distribution of wealth
Inflation, funding for education
or health care
Why are so many more
concerned with the
theft of their identity
Than the loss of free will
dignity and humanity
When you lack
any great substance
I guess you dress to impress
And fill yourself with vanity
This misinformation generation
eats up whatever they feed ya
Be it Mickey D's, MTV,
shows based on "reality"
Yum Yum...
spoon fed by a controlled media
We're infatuated by celebrities
and American Idols
Fox News, LeBron's shoes,
natural disasters
and let us not forget...
the crazy homicidal
If this is the state of the union
I think a state of emergency
should be declared
On second thought...
that's not such a great idea
And I haven't even
gotten to distribution of wealth
Inflation, funding for education
or health care
I am growing tired of this throw away
disposable consumer society
Why are those who say
our globe isn't warming
Still trying to lie to me?
Using up energy sources
that will not be soon replaced
Did you know that plastic
is gonna be the fossil
of the entire human race?
Our seas are overfished
and rainforests destroyed
Why? So men can make money
Mother Nature gets lucky when
people are unemployed
If this is the state of the union
I think a state of emergency
should be declared
On second thought...
that's not such a great idea
And I haven't even
gotten to distribution of wealth
Inflation, funding for education
or health care
Time to step off my soapbox
And walk down the road yonder
But before I go
two final questions to ponder:
Might seven billion people
be considered overpopulation?
How can we have all-you-can-eat buffets
AND sufferers of starvation?
