As I stand here in front of you
And nervousness drips from my hands
As my mouth dries up
And sweat covers my face.

I begin to build up the courage
To speak up and say what I have to,
Not saying what I can say,
Nah, I’m saying what I want to
Because it’s clear to me
That the truth is needed,
But at the same time
We’re afraid to concede it,
I’m with you, Where I too don’t wanna believe it.

However I’ve grown sick of this society
That can’t make up its mind
Always contradicting itself, the irony.
I’m sick of the fact that the sharing of information is considered piracy,
At the same time loving the coincidence,
Of our precious word democracy
Rhyming so nicely with Hypocrisy

I’m sick of these politicians lying through their teeth,
How can they hope to fix anything
When all they do is speak?
I’m angered by the fact that America still judges
Based on appearance,
Or how I can’t side with liberals or conservatives
Cuz I don’t see a difference.

See both Republicans and Democrats
Claim to have a mission,
You’re always welcomed to join them
But under one condition,
“Sir your wallet is not empty,
That can’t be,
Why don’t you give us that money
We’ll hold unto it for free.
Now you can’t pay your bills
But we’re thankful for your donation,
No! this is not stealing, It’s merely cooperation”.

Our Government is a big mess,
But thank God we have
The Military Industrial Complex,
This system is anything but honest,
And if I keep exposing them
I might become a victim
Guess death is the only price for Wisdom.
It’s true I should be proud to be American
But living here what have I inherited,
The Atom bomb, some stolen land, and broken promises
The American dream painted in obstacles,
Or a set of congress who doesn’t act,
Unless their pocket’s full.

To top it off we have this culture we created,
We love it if it’s bad but if it’s good we hate it.
This is why I’m proposing a solution,
To put it all in a nutshell,
Well, it’s a peaceful revolution.

What I ask of you is not simple,
Think of society as a pond,
Truth is the pebble, now it’s up to you to create a ripple.
If you ask for a change,
They’ll tell you to be patient
That’s when you stop asking
And start demanding.

If they tell you to be quiet
I want you to speak louder
If they tell you that their money is sweet
Tell them that hunger is sour
If they say walk, You run
If they demand you respect
You raise your hand, put four fingers down, and leave the middle one up.
If they silence me, I want you to keep going,
Find the truth yourself keep you mind growing.
We’re taking matters into our own hands,
Starting today,
So stand up, and stand with me,
As together,
We Disobey.
