In the Eyes of the Law<\/p>\n
What are you doing that for?
\nAren\u2019t you afraid of being caught?
\nRemember when this happened last time<\/p>\n
Now it repeats what history forgot!
\nEven as it changes, small details here and there
\nVariations through the ages
\nExceptions to small details
\nRemembered by a few<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t have that happening again
\nHave them at the doors, up in arms
\nAgainst the new status quo
\nNot happy with our choices
\nGet on with your lives proletariat
\nEgress from here if you must
\nSo what if you don\u2019t enjoy our choices<\/p>\n
So what if you want back your rights
\nOr to get out of the corner you were backed into<\/p>\n
We the people, don\u2019t make me laugh,
\nEven the people voted for us<\/p>\n
Made the mistake of trusting us
\nUnder the impression we would
\nStick to their needs and beliefs
\nTo the morals they ascribed to.<\/p>\n
Forget the people, forget their fight
\nIgnore their suffering ignore their plight
\nGet them while they\u2019re down
\nHold them ransom from their own rights
\nTil they think this is how it has always been<\/p>\n
They won\u2019t remember joy or happiness
\nHow it felt to go outside
\nEven the color of grass will fall to the wayside<\/p>\n
Stop them, stop them, they cannot brew their booze
\nYou must keep them docile now
\nSo we\u2019ll never lose.
\nToday\u2019s tomorrow will not be the people\u2019s
\nEven if they wish it. They\u2019ll fall in line eventually
\nMake them think they wanted this and we can\u2019t lose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
