We are suffering today From a disease called hypocrisy. And it is the basest enemy Of freedom in democracy. It substitutes a dollar amount For lives and souls and hope And tantalizes the population With TV, ***** and dope.
By the time the population Wakes up and catches on A new batch of crooks exist The old got rich, moved on. Every campaign promise They will fail to deliver. They will lie to your face And sell you down the river.
Our women are widows Our children are orphans The churches want money For larger pipe organs. They wring their hands Subject abortion to scorn But, abandon them to penury As soon as they are born.
They say they want nobody To receive free ride Medicare Then freely give corporations Un-needed trillions in welfare. The chant against big government Is a perennial marching tune. Theyβll decide the kind of ***, And have control over wombs,
The world is a place today Where the dollar comes first And the children of the poor Are usually treated the worst. We are suffering today From a disease called hypocrisy. And it is the basest enemy Of freedom in democracy.
