Everyplace 

there’s those who eat 

and those who can not pay.  

What kind of world  

would let it be that way? 

   

  

Business men 

with all their wealth  

tell us what to do. 

Them with gold,  

they make all the rules. 

  

  

The ones on top don’t give a damn 

about the ones in need.  

Their avaricious exploits show the depth  

of their greed. 

   

  

What we fear,  

and what we hate 

is what we have become. 

Or perhaps,   

we’ve been there all along 

   

  

Them or us,   

us or them 

 the small man pays the price. 

 The consequence 

 of taking bad advice. 

  

   

Violence speaks for ignorance. 

 And greed’s a wretched way. 

 Soon I hope equality and peace  

 can have their day.  

  

  

   

  

  

20%  

  

  

  

Brainwashed and misled 

the masses  

exist in complacency.  

They never question 

what they are told.  

Controlled  

by an Orwellian elite. 

Which tells them what to think,  

and tells them what to do, 

which controls their world 

right down to the food  

that they eat. 

    

Whatever will incite them 

and occupy their minds  

is what they are shown on TV. 

So they never notice  

that they’ve been had, 

content with their toys  

and the lie  

that they have freedom  

and they have choice,  

these slaves to their own  

foolish way of life. 

  

Wake up free thinkers, 

 and see the signs. 

 Our lives depend on you - 

 the 20%  

 or so whose minds aren’t warped 

 by hate 

 and misguided views. 

 Stand up for what’s right 

 against foolishness  

 and tyranny 

 and some day 

 we will all  

 be free.

Cowboys and Visionaries 

(Excerpts from speeches by FDR, JFK, and MLK) 

   

FDR 

“A second bill of rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all, regardless of station, or race, or creed.” 

  

JFK 

“There is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand it’s use to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.” 

  

MLK 

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up”... 

  

  

Transparency 

  

You’ve got a one-way mind 

and you share 

all your ignorant fears 

and despair. 

  

You come on strong and hot. 

You say you’re what you’re not. 

  

I see estates and yachts 

that you bought. 

I always hear you praying 

for what you haven’t got. 

  

You can help me out.  

You can save me with no doubt. 

Your transparency 

is what I can’t believe. 

  

You want to run our lives 

but you you can’t 

though you scream and cry 

and rant. 

  

You would make the laws  

that would force this on us. 

You can’t live and let 

but you might regret it. 

  

You can’t win a fight 

like this. 

There’s too much simple minds  

can miss. 

  

You just act the fool, 

or sit by your pool and laugh. 

You can sucker in 

just so many with your act. 

  

Guest evangelists: 

I point the finger in their face and say “you helped this happen”. 

God hates fags. Topeka is a city of whores. 

They’re evil people and they do evil things.
