I gave you my vote
I gave you my pay
I told all my friends
Hey this guy can harvest brighter days
Talking to me, approaching greatness
How bittersweet my lovely land suffers to this day
I'm learning volumes about our weakness
I'm learning how to renegotiate the trust of millions
All the better, we look in your eyes
we miss the simple fact, it's
Business as usual, again

Human beings are bought and sold
We haven't the right to stand and oppose their will
We ever see this trend, We covet our heroes but the law favors cowardly men

Pigeonhearted, worthless billionaires.
They have us under lock and key with salaried drag.
What of happiness? What of the right to choose?
(the corporate) What about it? All you people want is blame and excuse.
Well listen closely, the lion lectured,
There comes a day when the king shall fall and the kingdom may burn
Unless a new heart, forged in righteousness, sees the problem ain't people but the paycheck

it's amazing what we'll do for a piece of American pie without reading the ingredients first.
So many clamor for a counterfeit ferris wheel reading, To life - honestly we spin!
But if we are all riding the amusements and eating the funnel cake, who's watching the gate?
Who's asking the riddles?
Who's studying? Who's sacrificing for everyone else?
Who takes it on the chin?

I gave you my vote
