Home of the brave
Skyler Pinnell 1991 (Texas)
Just take a look at social disease.
It's all around, just to appease,
Controls the world, reign through dark.
Rules the world. Hits the mark.
On our Earth, for many years.
To learn the truth, it stokes your fears.
Its hidden well, to certainly keep,
Peace in homes, helps you sleep.
Political polarity, adds to strife.
Another way, to control your life.
Left or right, the same foundation.
Keep us split, our entire nation.
United we stand, divided we fall.
The sovereign reign, is on the ball.
It starts real young, while still in school.
Covertly teach you, booze it cool.
Subtly sly, you'll never tell.
To learn the truth, may ring your bell.
Then we are taught, to puff a cig.
Control so deep, it's grown too big.
As you age your grades may slip.
Few that care, to help you flip,
Your life around, To get it fixed.
Dogs eat dogs, the way were mixed.
Love your neighbor, as your own.
Learn it quick, you should have known.
But you dont, few been taught.
The trap on earth, has you caught.
To break your chains, is free your mind.
Subtly the t.v. binds
But the real world has no plugs.
Live online reporting bugs.
Your not free, you think you are.
Eschew those things, you may go far.
The world we live in is a trap.
We think it's fun. But it's crap.
What we pick up, while we're young.
We don't think to mind our tongue.
We cuss a storm like a sailor.
Weaves effects like a tailor.
Sew with word that we spoke.
Watch south Park to get this joke.
They counted "shit" in a little box.
They shew the truth un-orthodox
Heterodox is what I teach.
The way we live is a leach.
Drop those chains, do it now.
Ask away, I'll tell you how.
Quit tv and get offline.
Quit the drugs, including wine.
The things thats here for stress relief.
Legal poison from the Chiefs
So pay your taxes and drink your gas.
Say "howdidly fondly" as you now your grass.
Just remember the land of the free.
Never forget as you bury me.
