Analysis of STORMTROOPERS



Stormtroopers march against democracy
Stormtroopers march upon the dead and dying,
Certifiable Imbecilic Assassins
Assisting the Prez with all his lying.

Marching against freedom
They're marching against all truth,
Marching against justice as
The march to prop up fools.

They march to keep all freedom down
And to keep repression up,
They're taking down the good men
Replaced by leaders in their cups.

They march against equality
And to keep depression high,
They march toward injustice
And support youth suicide.

Stormtroopers fighting just
To bring equality to its knees,
In this day and age, it seems
They can do what evil they please.

They're fighting against justice
They're fighting on for evil,
Instead of God's warriors
They're fighting for the devil.

When they find a freedom fighter
They have to end his life,
If they see justice being done
The culprit will land in strife.

Stormtroopers are guidon bearers
For these extremely evil days,
And everybody toes the line
And does just what they say.
