So Wrong, He's Right
So Wrong, He's Right
Like a shot in the dark
Ringing through the still,
Silent night
Over the Airwaves
Like The Eagles
With a peaceful easy feeling
Ever trying
To take it to the limit
Unlimited, however
Save ourselves
Should, but we don't
So we just take it easy
Running on down the highway
Blind to the light
With no end in sight
Like lost souls
No longer strangers
To the dark
Weather-beaten and sleepless
Veterans they made us
Former angels
Now dirty as the streets
We run
Away from the laws
Creeping captivity
Stalking our invisible footfalls
Freedom snatchers
Brandishing bullets, badges
To protect and serve
Some systematic agenda
Built to quell the sound
Liberty sings and teaches
To we the people
Illuminated erudite, the freethinkers
Patriots, outlaws, anarchists, antiheroes
Made criminals by birthright thoughts, ideas
Of opposition opposing
Authority, conformity, majority
For all the right reasons
Genuine altruism a crime
Genocide to reason
For the advancement
Namely betterment
Call it progress
Of an entire species
Humankind: can't be both?
Guess we lost our way
Somehow
Now we willingly bow
Salute with honor
We praise our shackles
Overall broken we surrender
Capitulated fully we're thankful
To our slaveowners
For the gruelly pittance
They endow us with poverty
Proud American squalor
Ripe for all to pick, eat
Starve
Disintegrated values, rights
Voted away by mock-democracy
So as to feel safer
In our foreclosed-on homes
Domestic terrorists next door
Cooking methamphetamines
For your children
Misled youth
Degenerates, junkies, fools
Born beautiful and innocent
Under a Government thumb
Turned ugly by societal standards,
Social-norms, pop-culture
Ignorant by choice, bad influence
Dying together in the gutters
Of every sad little town
In the country
Land of greed
Home of the enslaved
Nationalistic nonsensical nostalgia
Americana decayed, consumed
By the elite and the dregs
Alike like a brand-new Reich
On LSD we see
Don't blink or think
I saw the light
I know it's right
That's why I write
That's why I cry
That's why they lie
They just want us to die
Quiet at night
Without a fight
So wrong, he's right
So long, goodnight
