One and the same
Masters of war
 Masters of deciet
 Masters of robbing your people 
 
 You left them gasping for breath and lying in the streets spare a coin spare a coin
 You left them with no other choice as everything grew smaller around them shrinking fast 
 
 The poor stayed poor while the rich grew rich
 
 The sick grew sicker and eventually 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   they died
 
 The hungry stayed hungry and eventually
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   they died
 The thirsty stayed thirsty
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 they died 
 
 You were everywhere in your secret agents and ruthless police
 The people had no choice the people were faced with a choice
 Die for the future or barely live in the present 
 
 
 
 
 Some came because they needed to had to have revolution
 
 Some they came out some over the cover of darkness 
 
 Some they came out under the shadow of a bueracracy
 
 Some came because they needed to had to have revolution 
 Some came because the world had stood by and watched as their children died by becoming just like them and they hated it
 
 Watching the world as the world watched while their children remained illeterate staying there staying in the same place
 
 they watched as they grew sicker because the rich afforded health care and thats it and with no doctors there was no hope
 
 Their hope withered and died died died died died died died
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The people the average people who saw what other countries were getting
 and what they weren’t
 
 It could just as easily be the 1700’s again 
 
  As they took to the streets dying for the future dying for their children
 
 Faced mobs because they knew they were right and the masters of opression were wrong
 
 Took to the streets and for some there was change
 
 For some there was a stubborn old man determined to hold on to power
 
 So he does the easiest thing he turns the guns on his own people
 
 Its not like there lives were gonna get any better anyway 
 
 he had made sure of that he had made sure of that he had made sure of that
 
 So they came out in the streets dying by the multitudes for their people
 
 Here in America we have forgotten about how we came to be 
 
 Revolution,  Liberty Bell, Fighting
 
 We were not supposed to win the Contenintal Army was supposed to be defeated 
 but they won they had a desire for things to get better for things to change in their country 
 
 Sound familiar??
 
 
 
 
 
    Sound like one and the same??
