These Republicans and these Democrats
and all the rest of the lot.
Saying what wants to be heard,
masquerading what they are not.
I come to you as a child,
with a mind that's true and pure.
But what happened to our government
what happened and what is the cure?
We bred a beast of paper,
born from misery and greed.
Where our lawmakers always owe favors
"never bite the hand that feeds".
Where money is the motivator
and the country is the boat,
and as long as they are high and dry
no matter how low they'll keep it afloat.
Like Nascar they're all sponsored
by whom we'll never know,
but they don't listen to us anymore
they listen to those who give the dough.
Have we forgotten the basic principles
this country was built around?
For all its fellow countrymen
In all its sacred ground.
To those we see on the sidewalks,
driving cars and going about
of all colors and pigmentations
fairness and equality is the only route.
As a child these were simple
but as we grew it left our minds
to treat others like our kin
no matter what the situation finds.
We were braver when we were children,
not afraid to help others out.
maybe I'm talking about things too simple,
perhaps this is what it's all about.
