D'Amn'erica

Damn Rupert Murdock
and his mud racking perfect propaganda propagation.

Damn Dick Cheney
and his heartless Hailburton money machine.

Damn the Bushes.
Damn 'em to hell.

Damn Wolfowitz
and his skull and bones drudgery.

Damn pipelines
and the oil we burn.

Damn 'em.
Damn 'em all.
Damn the Democrats
for standing by while freedom drowns.

Damn 'em all
for damning us
one and all.

one damn nation under fear
the united snakes of a stolen America
built to the sky on broken treaties and unkempt lies

one nation underwater
trying to breath
gasoline

subverted and submerged
sustained on innocents' blood and
the remains of dinosaurs

They've built a pipeline into your mind
Through the airwaves they control
Through the lies they've told

An elite who've never hungered, never suffered
never once felt the cold

Riding a populace into the dirt and below
Wringing us for all we're worth

A dollar at a time
An hour at a time
At a minimum wage
With no chance at overtime

They've deleted us
Omitted us
Stricken our name from the page
And brought in a new age of no understanding

A BRAVE NEW WORLD ORDER
A BRAVE NEW WORLD ORDER

One fashioned on fallacies
Funded by fanatics
And brought into your home
With full corporate support

I'm reminded of a few lines from Richard III:

"A milk-sop, one that never in his life
Felt so much cold as over shoes in snow..."

That's the elite I see when I read this... very nice.
