Democratic Freedom
Don’t get arrested if you’re poor!
There’s no way they’ll let you go!
Privilege just means private law
To those who’re in the know
And if you ever wondered why it seems
The system disregards your self
It’s because you are on separate teams
"The law"’s an anagram of "wealth"
But do not worry, not all’s lost,
You poor demented yob
You can have freedom at a cost
-The freedom of the mob
Oh sure, The mob won’t listen
And doubtless will not care,
But it’s guaranteed admission
To most likely anywhere
But where will the people rally to?
Well, you may think this is funny –
It’s the same place that they always do-
The mob follows the money.
And the people rule the country
The same way as did the few,
But now you cannot blame them
Because "the people" includes you.
