see, the man
see, the man
he takes what he can
’cause that’s the big plan,
to keep you down,
to make you frown,
to make you drown
in debt and credit cards,
christmas ornaments and easter candy.
isn’t that dandy?
see, the man, be it bush, clinton or even al gore,
he’ll hold you down and make you beg for more,
say he wants peace then start a war,
kick you to the curb and lock the front door,
make you kill a serb, arab, vietcong and more.
do his bidding?
you’ve got to be kidding.
buy into his lies
with inward facing eyes,
buy his commodities,
his marketed oddities,
his war on terror.
it isn’t fair.
it’s about the scare.
but, who’s creating the ter-ror?
are we believing in er-ror?
you've got to demand more,
more truth, more liberty, more of that american way,
none of the bullshit the man allows us today.
see, the man,
and his big grand master plan,
to kick you in your can
when you’re already down,
to make you drown
in debt, lies, dreams,
delusions of grandeur or so it seems.
breathe.
breathe.
don’t drown in his lies,
crushed by his boot,
burned by his eyes
with none of the loot
promised by the advertise… ments,
ladies and gents.
be yourselves, be your own beings,
not something stuck in his shoe tread.
be powerful things.
or be ignorant instead.
