Dark Days

I want to know how civility and respect Escaped the American dream How money race and power replace grace and respect Democracy unraveling at the seams A beguiling has taken place before our very eyes See the puppets led by 'trumpets' of the grand demise The Pied Piper from his tower there in the skies At best it's all a joke it's got to be a joke it must be a joke in disguise These are dark days troubling to say the least A free world high jacking a burdening of the beast These are dark days delivered like a ransom The free world held hostage to bullying expansion So how does a system born of civil suffering Escape the American dream Replaced with ignorance and imperial muscling Tell the people what they want not what they need to hear A beguiling has taken place before our very eyes See the puppets led by trumpets of the grand demise The Pied Piper from his tower there in the skies At best it's all a joke it's got to be a joke it must be a joke in disguise Democracy these days well you're fired But if you do as I dictate you're hired Don't tell them the truth they don't care that I'm a liar And that's all it took to acquire my fake Presidential attire
