Wake up America, it’s time to realize,
We’re all being robbed by just a handful of guys.
They’re unconscionably greedy, corrupt, and lovele$$ to the core.
‘They don’t care what’s fair or right for US, because they make Thee Law
Laws designed to enslave us
In poverty, debt, and despair
So they can live their thieving lie-ves in luxury
Without a conscious care
It’s OUR hard earned money
That made our great nation wealthy
While their ONE PERCENT hordes half of it
Leaving the rest us struggling and unhealthy
They control all our media
To keep us in ignorance and fear
With nasty campaigns of lies and hate
Making truth now all too rare
They push their guns and say “now kill each other,”
To divide and conquer us all
Because united we could stand up to them
But divided they know we will fall.
But fret not my sisters and brothers
‘Cause we have power far greater than they want you to know
Because of viral email, movies and songs,
WE can now make these greedy bastards go
We can demand laws designed to free us
And make the filthy rich pay their fair share
Then fix all our depleted programs
Because OUR money will still be there
We are 330 million strong now
Versus just a handful of billionaire puppeteers
Who pull the strings on ‘all’ our law-fakers
And have been for so many years
It’s time we unite US - the hellbent red and the too passive blue,
And all those who just don’t care
We can take our country back without blood shed
And we can do it all this year
Black and brown lives matter,
And so do yellow and blue,
These greedy old white guys have got to go
The ball’s in OUR court now, so what do ya want to do?
Continue to attack fellow victims?
Keeping them down, rather than getting your own life right?
Or direct your anger toward OUR ‘Real’ Enemies
So together we can end this wrongful Left vs. Right un-American fight?
We started waking up in the sixties
When pot made it all crystal clear
To choose a Loving Brotherhood
Over fighting their wars on beer
Go Purple Our’merica
It’s our only way out of their game
victim HURTING victim has got to stop!
And we need to start calling each other by name - my Brother, Sister.
