(political) There is nothing wrong with an opinion unless they are belted out as fact as you pivot and turn your back With an attitude like "that's that, the earth is flat, **** a fact. Oh you have a rebuttal? **** that jack, ain't nobody got time for that and I've already adorn the dunce cap hat and have been programmed to see every opposing view as wack" Then if you're questioned on any of that crap you over react cause that's the act, a one way ticket on an unfinished track As a society that's where we are at, blindly led to a side and sat You over retract at the meer thought of a different opinion like you've just seen a vampire bat And that's the exact **** they both do, whether sitting far left or crowned with a MAGA hat They're both one in the same just labeled with a different name, they all share the same shame They all hold equal blame and should be held accountable for their reign of terror and for being the main source of pain But they want you to aim your hate at the other side, they playing you, you're just the decks instruction card in a poker game They claim to be for the people, they proclaim it outside the evil steeple in front of the sheeple that we're all equal in the same frame At the same time they devide us into different secs and designate to each a new surname like an unwanted nickname It's ******* insane if you think about it and to get your head around it only takes one tenth of a brain We follow the hurd like a march of the obserd, making decisions not based on fact but rather based on what we heard Never fact checking, no veting, just excepting like trusting Pinocchio as you watch his nose grow with every word Like believing when they change the topic and say it's chocolate even when every shred of evidence proves it's a **** " Look over there, in the sky, It's a plane, it's a bird...now keep focused over there, don't look over here, I've gotta get this story altered" They make sure we're not anchored in reality to make distorting ours easy and the truth awkward Buttered on both sides so no matter how we land they can say it was planned and preferred Details erased, a false profit embraced, dividing the human race to the point we feel fixing it would be a waste **** it, let it burn) The haste in which it's done along with the questionable pace makes it hard to find that one place to begin and state our case Gotta stake claim to the space between our ears even though that's not always a safe place They dangle in our face a little taste of what we'll never achieve but will always chase Don't even try to defend your case saying you'll keep us safe in this death race 'Cause the safety net you've put into place is looking more like mere silk lace The ace up their sleeve is always a bold faced lie that can be traced back to this countries birth place We can't seem to see through the fog and past the facade which is odd See cause to me it's clear as day, even if the details are broad We applaud mindlessly knowing we don't know what the **** is going on, both here or abroad The entire system is flawed, it's a fraud, they run roughshod while claiming to walk with god While you're chained to a tie-rod evil claims your thoughts like stealing an auction with a last minute nod Then they perfect the show they put on, a conscience gone, a simple knowledge of right and wrong don't belong in their tainted pond We can't even dream of a win cause you start at the finish of your scripted Iditarod Then have the nerve to tell us we can't even begin until the ground is thawed They check mate us with a pawn, almost like we're allowing it to go on YOU ARE!! Somehow buying into new rules made on the spot, barely needing a reason We've given up everything from our freedom to our rights as a human, it's all gone Seriously, next time an election comes along notice all the mini billboards littering the neighbors lawn The divide has literally reached our doorstep people. Are you that physically and mentally blind son? Come on!!! You can't tell me that you don't see the line that's been drawn? I know you do cause you constantly fight with anyone that comes along and stumbles into your vision with the wrong political pin on Stating they're wrong and that you're  planted opinion is the right side to be on But it's never as easy as being captain Kirk, a Klingon or Kahn, theres so much grey in this cauldron And we've adopted this half wit lexicon and do shorthand in crayon so it's no wonder we're a blunder, seen as a country size ***** Like a circus freak show main attraction, we're always top marquee with evils higher echelon How long can it go on with leaders so corrupt they can be bought with a mere coupon? Get them the **** out of the White House and Pentagon, that entire pantheon of people that no longer belong Our national bank is so overdrawn, moral compass a bygone,  basic human decency forgotten Our core beliefs seems to be rotten, we've gotten so scared we leave the house in full Teflon Prepared for battle but in the middle of the fight you just walk out of the octagon, you don't want to lose by decision You'd rather forfeit any chance to be champion, to tired and confused to carry on But to proud to admit we fell for the con that got us to set up our own crucifixion And as we dangle until an eventual death from exhaustion and asphyxiation You'll still use your last breath to support the liaison with corruption that deep down you knew was wrong all along ©2020
