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.
