What does it all matter Religion and science The future is now And the gods are behind us Reminding us where we let Faith conquer fact And believed only some higher powers impact the track record of humans in union Just Trumans in ruins Betrayed constitutions And freedom illusions In each revolution
Until at the grass roots we grow a new movement To rise up and wake up the slumbering giants The common man’s struggle to topple the tyrants, we’ve done it with violence, but never with silence But in reconciling the ghosts of our past With the differences in all the shadows they caste We can iconoclast the plastic misconception That all of our saviors need win an election To bail out oppression with jail cell detention And hush any mention of selfless expression
When bullets are ballots and money is mallets, then liberty’s truth is injustice for all We can fall to our knees and praise be to a wall Or measure the magic in this crystal ball If we keep seeing fortunes and fame On the brain, then the lions we tame will in vain take the blame And all of us lose the food chain waiting game As I share my Thomas Paine going insane
