The Lancean Specificity
Revolution
Cruelty and greed and execution
Haunt a hunted people drowning in debt
As puppet masters gather now for how
To vow to hold us down no matter what
Some of us who should remember forgot
Frightened old white men grabbing all they can
Taking so much they are breaking us now
Calling all the rest un-American
Turning a blind eye to those left behind
Warring on the poor according to plan
Exploitation without explanation
Nor does it matter to them if we mind
Taxation without representation
Enforced by bread and circuses and yet
Some of us who could see would rather not
But eyes kept in the dark now realize
Their hope out in the park to their surprise
Now beholding the lotus unfolding
Coming to us becoming you and me
As the ninety-nine percent solution
Held down long enough we who would be free
Opening now to see revolution
