Under the thumb
of the corrupt,
The elected few
but they don’t stand for us.
Shifting the blame,
Spreading the hate,
To make us fear all
of the ghosts they create.
Spitting lies from their putrid lips,
Another crown for another new king.
We are manipulated every day,
Trapped in a system built on decay.
Standing by unaccountable
Authoritarian and uncontrollable
Behind the guise of democracy
Say they fight for "freedom"
while they steal our liberties.
They don’t stand for us,
Morally bankrupt.
When will we speak up
If they won’t speak for us?
More money for power,
no matter the cost.
What should we do
When They betray our trust?
