Unfinished, but I lost motivation towards the end. Needs editing :| Some of it never left the word-vomit stage. But honestly, I'll probably never finish so it doesn't hurt to post this now. Lol
Not gonna lie, I’ve never read the Constitution
But still I blindly pledge allegiance to this huge institution
Hand over heart, don’t break my concentration
While I swear to give my life to this beautiful nation
Baltimore M.D. is raving with racial tension
Black kids and white cops bathing in media attention
Meanwhile a libertarian gets shafted
For an underground server he may or may not have crafted
Evidence is suppressed, mom is distressed
Watching her son be victimized and oppressed
Forget Fundamental fairness or what witnesses saw
If Big Brother ain’t for you, then neither is the law
Law can be bent, language manipulated
And if need be, murder charges created
If you’re keeping secrets then you’re gonna be tracked
A violation backed by the Patriot Act
A measure for terrorists, but they’ll use it on students
When they can’t regulate the drug trade, that’s money they’re loosing
Live are lost too, but money’s what talks
If you can’t make a profit, then why give it a thought?
Three Muslim girls dead over a “parking spot”, not their race
Use a hijab to hide you shame and your face
It’s hard loving Allah and living in the USA
One nation under God, but your god’s not okay
Your God brought down our proud city towers
But remember Hiroshima? That bomb was ours.
We justify terror in war, therefore a war on terror
Blame an entire faith for one radical’s error
Declare war on Bin Laden, fought with foreign oil
Get rich on death and spend your spoils
In retrospect, how bad was 9/11?
Was it worth the war, the tension, the spending?
Why am I scared when I see a man in a turban?
Why do I hate the God he’s humbly serving?
I’ve been trained to flinch at the name Allah
I hear the word Iraq and I drop my jaw
But I don’t know anything about this war
No media coverage, no footage, I’m left unsure
Remind me again, what are we fighting for?
My uncle was deployed thrice and I still don’t know
He just does his job, just comes and goes
We glorify war, an obsession gone hyper
We worship pieces of propaganda like American Sniper
We glorify killing for the sake of justice
God bless America, land of the loveless
Land of the free, home of the brain washed
And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m being watched
I’ve never felt safer thanks to the NSA
They’re probably reading this now, taking down my name
Kind of like ISIS, taking names and recruits
Giving guns to troubled kids and telling them to shoot
Give them a sense of purpose and a place to belong
And they’ll die for their God and they’ll start building bombs
They can’t take a joke, they’ll attack publications
Because all their life they’ve been fed fabrications.
How am I any different, here in this “free” country?
Where everything is controlled by the people with money
They try to fool us here in this nation
But people don’t matter, it’s all about corporations
If you’re not a business, then you have no business here
That’s why corporations were made people last year
That’s why Hobby Lobby can deny health insurance
And cake bakers can discriminate for religious assurance
That’s why they can fill your every breath with poison
Don’t bother resisting because there is no avoiding
When your water is fluoridated
And your food is hydrogenated
And they want to blame us for our obesity?
Have you ever heard of such an obscenity?
This wouldn’t be an issue with stricter regulations
But you can’t profit from food without genetic modifications
If the crops aren’t filled with pesticides and covered with wax
Then they’ll have to up the tax
And you’ll pay for what you eat and they’ll pay for the increase
The cycle will repeat, cause we’ll all go for grease
Because we can’t get enough of cheap, cheap, cheap.
The less it costs, they more you can afford
And the quicker the consumer gets bored
And just in time, the next thing is on the shelf
Surprise, surprise, this one also threatens your health.
