    Liberty Rant

    Freedom of speech
    Be careful what you say
    Likely to be decapitated
    when you bow your head to pray
    No shackles on religion
    When you cut the ties that bind
    When brothers murder brothers
    because they've lost their minds

    Blame it on the drugs
    you beg to legalize
    Cannot see your future
    through stoned and bloodshot eyes
    Separation happens
    not with church and state
    Leave it to the government
    the decision of your fate

    Form a little union
    grant everyone their rights
    When morals matter not
    it will start the civil fights
    Encourage them to sue
    for all their wrongful woes
    Take his land and home
    and even take his clothes

    Just take away our guns
    With no rights to bear arms
    Defending all we've worked for
    To protect our families from harm
    Then fire all the working class
    send them to the welfare line
    Tell them they don't qualify
    and watch their hopes decline

    America and her spacious skies
    whose land was once a dream
    Now a nightmare's legacy
    The "change" was too extreme
    Justice scales have broken
    Liberty bows her head
    A land that once was bountiful
    barely hanging by a thread...
