Revolt!

Corrupt as they come.
 
Our government is run, by the liars, the cheaters, the easily bribed.
 
The self righteous zealots, only looking at one side.
 
Without a choice, I am the voice.
 
Of the outcasts, the rebels, the renegades.
 
The rejects, the future, their passion has began to fade
 
Pushed around, and forced to do as they are told.
 
Helpless, hopeless, un-willingly controlled.
 
By the teachers, the officers, and the law.
 
This is the true face of humanity, raw.
 
Exposure, Injustice, Inhumane.
 
Immoral, Indescent, A mockery to those who’ve been slain.
 
Those who worked hard for the justices we refrain
 
From using. The rights we are abusing.
 
Instead we do as we are told.
 
Our passions, we’ve sold.
 
For money, for fame, for recognition.
 
For power, for spotlight, all the wrong ambitions.
 
We do what it takes to pay the bills.
 
Rejecting whatever it is that gives us a thrill.
 
Because it can’t make you money, so it mustn’t be worth your time.
 
But as the voice, I’d rather do what I want, whats right.
 
Than earn a single dime.
 
From a government as slimy, as sleazy as this.
 
Without a doubt in our mind, we raise an iron fist.
 
Against them, protest them.
 
We can’t be controlled.
 
We do as we want, not as we are told.
