The Son Of Cain
By James Bush
Nationalism again.
::::::::
He wraps himself in the flag
Sacrifice for the country
Is his stated creed
Forget yourself
And put country first
"Fight with me!"
"Fight with me!"
Don't worry about
Your job, health care, or education
Never mind that I am wealthy
And you are poor
Don't worry about the environment
We'll drill our way out of trouble
Don't worry about the war
We'll kill our way out of trouble
Give me your vote and your money
We'll spend it well for you
Forget what the greatest Republican said
About a government...
"Of the people, by the people, and for the people"
Hear my call
To join in the fight against evil
Wherever evil lurks...out there
Forget that I have been here before
Forget that I play a Nationalist game
Forget that I am more of the same
Forget that I Am...
The Son of Cain
