Lyrics
Freedom of speech is a freedom of mind to take an idea and share it in kind To exchange concepts, say what you think, affect the world and build a chain from a link A true patriot is not saluting a flag, but questioning norms and the tongues that wag. Its feeding your head, checking the facts, voting for principles not partisan backs, learning the law, and following tracks, thinking in grey, not in whites or blacks, sticking to values even if it brings you flack. This is democracy; Come on let’s bring it back Now to all my people up on Capitol Hill, let’s ditch the rhetoric and get to talking real Public service is a self-serving term that reflects ideals not the money you earn. If you were serving the public, you would be working free Like volunteers at a shelter, or musicians like me, You would be working with all guts and none of the glory For the good of all not the fame or the story. The good of all is not a question of teams republican democrat we’re all human beings. But you turn us all from friends into foes, narrows our minds, and makes tensions grow, united we stand, divided we fall; this is democracy, up against the wall. Welfare is not evil it is a state of health sense of entitlement is a consequence of wealth. When we choose to decide to put a tag of price on life, dehumanization tends to cut like a knife. My people in DC against universal care, you have tax paid insurance, yet do not want to share. What makes my taxes so worthy of you to deny to so many and benefit so few? For the people by the people, representing every station, well how many people are representing the homeless population, How many have never been on a paid vacation I was born on the poor side of capitalization. And my ancestors were put on reservations Money is the problem that binds our trust, one nation under greed, is killing us, One nation with liberty and justice for all, well that may be unless your income is small, And if you don't believe me then I’d like you to show me a single rich man sitting on death row. America, built on genocide and slaves let’s give some truth to the promises you claim. Let ‘s get down to cultural evolution, exercise our rights, and learn our constitution. Stop talking about the problem and become the solution. This is democracy. Come on join the revolution.
