An acid raindrop
Burning the last of the crop
Dusty barren soil
Marks the end of the millenial toil
Work until your hands are cracked
And you're crippled and broken backed
You work to pay to be free
The new whips of slavery
Mr Taxman comes to your door
His theft I do deplore
All I have to spare is change
And he acts as if deranged
A continent fractured for greed
A little more ivory is what we need
While sickly babies wail and perish
Without a moment of life to cherish
But do you shed a single tear
No, only hate and fear
You are an enemy
To my country and to me
As atomic rainbows cross the sky
In warring peace, we all shall die

An acid raindrop
Burning the last of the crop
Dusty barren soil
Marks the end of the millenial toil
Work until your hands are cracked
And you're crippled and broken backed
You work to pay to be free
The new whips of slavery
Mr Taxman comes to your door
His theft I do deplore
All I have to spare is change
And he acts as if deranged
A continent fractured for greed
A little more ivory is what we need
While sickly babies wail and perish
Without a moment of life to cherish
But do you shed a single tear
No, only hate and fear
You are an enemy
To my country and to me
As atomic rainbows cross the sky
In warring peace, we all shall die
This is a piece I feel strongly about and have tried to get out for a few weeks now amd just have been able to do
