oops did i say that

You know what really grinds my gears?

It's what everyone in society fears. 

The will to stand up to tell them they are wrong,

But to do so you must be mentally strong.

They take our money and will to live,

Through legislature is hidden motive.

A car has been made that runs on water,

Huh really? What did i STUTTER.

And what about electricity it could be free,

For you, for them, definitely for me.

Government steps in asks where's their money for that,

We bow our heads empty our pockets what a load of crap.

Everyday laws are passed that we do not understand,

Why don't we rise and stick it to the man.

They get paid from our wages, they work for us,

But we turn on each other and start to fuss.

While we argue amongst ourselves,

They sit and laugh with gold bricks on shelves.

We are trapping ourselves through our idiocracy,

Stamping approved on laws that we never meant to be.

Why should i get put in jail for not cutting my grass,

Yet they get paid to sit on their ass.

But it goes deeper there is bigger fish to fry,

Really we're controlled by just one guy.

Since when did America become a dictatorship?

Judicial, senate, president should be in relationship.

It all boils down to that one man.

If he says no its in the can.

We appoint them to be the people's voice,

But in reality we never had the choice.

We can vote, we can rally, we can petition,

It still comes down to the governments commission.

The saying money talks is surely true,

If you do not believe that you haven't got a clue.

You can steal, you can hurt, you can even kill,

And get away with it all having that green paper bill.

I Thought it was innocent until proven guilty.

But the court system finds it hard to do their duty.

Judges full of bias thoughts and displaced aggression,

It's a bad day for who they next beckon.

They might be having a bad day, or it"s the food the had,

It is not our fault they were so damn mad.

Their uncontrollable emotions decide our fate,

All we can do is sit and wait.

I thought we had the freedom of speech,

Speak up to them it"s us they impeach.

Mad at our logic was the jurymen,

For blowing a stop sign you get seven to ten.

So many innocent have been jailed,

For that our judicial system utterly has failed.

I can talk all day about government flaws,

But if i keep going they'll mark me with the outlaws.
