Integrity and Tyranny

What\'s gets me most is how they strap

a gun and wrap a flag 

 

Around a kid who knows no better that there\'s another way

 

Behind a desk shouldered bars and stars big wigs to back you up

 

Sending kids to foreign lands programmed defending rights

 

I\'ve looked real hard through that bill for rights that don\'t exist 

 

A place that says I can steal your oil just because my gun is big 

 

Does it piss you off to hear the truth 

or should I just be quiet

 

Will you plot my death and call me names and tell them im a traitor 

 

Now here\'s the thing consider hard the way you dont agree 

 

It\'s OK there will be times I dont agree and won\'t like what you say

 

But I always will defend your right to say those words I do not need a gun

 

I still believe that speech is free may it always stay that way

 

Like how the founders planned for us when they wrote it down

 

Constitutional rights is what they fought before your greed was craving oil 

 

Kids got killed and some were maimed

did you think about the family 

 

The one you said that they fought for 

no you just wanted oil

 

And here you go dispursing shame making lots of noise 

 

How dare i say whats on my mind as if I have that right

 

You can say what you believe there is no need to fight

 

But as for those with greed they hide

behind a flag and shouldered shiny stripes

 

I won\'t believe a word you say when it\'s just a ploy to sell your latest book 

 

Represent again what they fought back then a choice between integrity and tyranny
