We The People...



Destroyed by government, controlled
by greed, living in hate, dying in need.
The need to live free, the need to let
be, it’s all about them, not you and me.
Taxes on this, taxes on that, give ‘em
their money or they might take it back!

Vote for the chance to give up your rights,
continue alone and you won’t win the fight.
Speak with a voice that cannot be heard,
or gather together and win this for sure.

If in one we unite we’ll take back our land,
and die not in vain by the dominant hand.
We The People…slowly drifting apart,
let’s take back control of this dying heart.
