What is the cost?  How high the price?

Our system of hypocrites and capitalize

Purchase a ticket to ride

To this land of milk and honey

Engorged ego and hoaders of paper money

Collectors of dust antiquated lustful for

Antiques

Road show sideshow side *******

Jones having too many itches

Fever is what we teach...

(Freedom is not having

To ask for permission to ...)


Pursuer of happiness be aware

What comes cheap around here

Is just despair,

The cost of elevating

Far from the pains or wanting or cares

Is just another addiction

Legalized

Oh mon frere, we cannot share

What freedoms we give birth

Were conquered long enslaved,

White fathers who scorch the earth

Have new chains, a price to pay

Welcome to the U S of TandA...
