 THEZESPOKENWORDZ

We're Not in Kansas Anymore



After carefully analyzing the evidence and after countless hours of public deliberation along with several expert witness testimonies, The People's Court has finally reached a verdict. We the People find the defendant, the Bush Administration, GUILTY. And now that the verdict is out there is nothing else to argue about.


Bush and Cheney are guilty and that is that
This is something easy to determine once you've looked at the facts
The only result of their leadership was debt, taxes and war with no end
And Obama's determined to lead us down that same road again
Here a war, there a war and everyone's a threat
To the goal of the empire whether or not they know it yet
In the West we couldn't care less as long as from the war we're far removed
And it's some other poor nation that's getting bombed and mourning for the lives they lose
But what will we do when in that luxury we can no longer trust
And the guns aimed at them are turned and aimed on us?
Think it can't happen? Well, think again
Because this is no longer The United States that you're living in
A mutant form of democracy has slowly overtaken us all
Rendering it virtually impossible to correct the steps that were taken to fall
It's like everything's changed but yet it still remains the same battle that it was back then
When American pride actually stood for something like it did in the times that our parents and grandparents grew up in
The American dream has become a nightmare because it's grown even harder for the average person to achieve it
Perhaps the real reason that it's called the American dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.
