There was a time when I was gaining ground
When life was productive, safe & sound
But all of that ended
What\'s really sad is I knew that it would
Leaders no longer serve as they should
Requiring knees bended
Deep disrespect for the everyday man
Is an integral part of their everyday plan
My rights all rescinded
And so their scheme is all I now ponder
As they take and they take, only to squander
Just as they intended
