Language Co-opted or Define and Conquer

Tell A Friend

What happened to the revolutionaries and the rebels too?

They've all become insurgents

What else could they do?

There's no more armed resistance

And freedom fighters too

What happened to the people who fought back for you?

Lied to and hustled in red, white and blue.

Where is our conscience and heroes of old?

No leadership around they've co-opted the bold.

Progressive language is made to disappear

Replaced , with repetition and fear.

Concepts of change, Ideas and our hopes

Controlled by religious extremists, bandits and dope.

I see sh-t goin' backwards who would think it could be?

Infinite regression is whoopin' on me
