Scared sitting in back rooms counting your hard earned pay
Majority spreading fear economy lost stocks on the fall
Banks foreclosing while we still have to pay our debts
The parties over for us and we never even corked the first top
Always an escape for the elite while we common dogs get thrown some scraps
This never ending battle of anger and suppression
This time of shadows and fright
Bankruptcy and shame
They sit there on the news telling us about how things should be
A perfect harmony of science and religion politics and rights
All told by some other fish in the stream of things
Who can control the uncontrollable?
Now they put us to war against ourselves in the name of the president
There is no more talk of change its all a race issue from here
The stakes have gotten to high and I am afraid of the fall
We squabble like hens all throwing the blame or fabricating lies
Truth a fabled word heard only in locked doors
As this mockery goes on who is not the little fish and who is just the bait
It is not the first time both parties followed some same goal
Some selfish scheme
But who really can tell the future and if you could would they believe and listen
Or get a chance to
Would you want to sit back and let things unfold or try to wake from this slumber
We have only little time to decide
Gone past most ordinary days and time has gone all confused
The limelight is stale we have seen to many same snowflakes
What more can come as we lag behind
As we throw everything away
As we come undone
