Cowards Compromise
By robert braunstein
outrage
::::::::
Telecom immunity they just struck a deal
Selling out the people
Fascism for real.
162 billion for Iraq and Afghan
It's another compromise
It's amazing these bums can look us in the eyes.
They like to spew their crap
About who's American
To undermine the folks
Who don't much like their plan
We can't afford social security
No funds for healthcare
But for their surveillance,
The money's always there.
There is no cash problem
If they want to start a war
But when our people suffer
We are broke, just like before
They "appropriate" our money
Make heroes of our worst
Then they wave the flag
And say, U.S.A. first.
What is this America they like to
Talk about?
It ain't the people anymore
We haven't got the clout
They don't trust us
They just listen to our calls
They don't care what we think or feel
They have us by the balls
They took away our freedom
That's what made us great
The people must awaken
Or suffer an awful fate
The politicians are bought off
Don't count on them no more
They'll wave when you float by
And humiliate the poor
They promote lofty values
They want you to be free
To watch your life go down the drain
On a big screen tv.
