In the Eyes of the Law

What are you doing that for?
Aren’t you afraid of being caught?
Remember when this happened last time

Now it repeats what history forgot!
Even as it changes, small details here and there
Variations through the ages
Exceptions to small details
Remembered by a few

Can’t have that happening again
Have them at the doors, up in arms
Against the new status quo
Not happy with our choices
Get on with your lives proletariat
Egress from here if you must
So what if you don’t enjoy our choices

So what if you want back your rights
Or to get out of the corner you were backed into

We the people, don’t make me laugh,
Even the people voted for us

Made the mistake of trusting us
Under the impression we would
Stick to their needs and beliefs
To the morals they ascribed to.

Forget the people, forget their fight
Ignore their suffering ignore their plight
Get them while they’re down
Hold them ransom from their own rights
Til they think this is how it has always been

They won’t remember joy or happiness
How it felt to go outside
Even the color of grass will fall to the wayside

Stop them, stop them, they cannot brew their booze
You must keep them docile now
So we’ll never lose.
Today’s tomorrow will not be the people’s
Even if they wish it. They’ll fall in line eventually
Make them think they wanted this and we can’t lose.
