Cesspool

Having power has become a license to lie
Economy dies they get rich no one will ask why
Masters of society corroding courtroom walls
Corporate truth makes no sense they'll never take the fall
Corrupted power lying under strictest oath
Shredding evidence whenever truth comes close
White collar pockets filled with cash behind the scenes
While the rest suffer just to reach our dreams

Deception, makes profit
When business destroys truth
Those who work to survive
Won't notice that their dreams have gone
There is no punishment
When government cooperates
We're forced to live in this
Pathetic rancid cesspool

In the capitol weak laws are passed
In a feeble attempt to silence the masses
But the criminals have not given up
They find loopholes and blind eyes are shut
When the law steps in, a farce in the court
Indemnity for all nothing to report
But the law says from now on we'll be strict
Except for our friends in the government

Deception, makes profit
When business destroys truth
Those who work to survive
Won't notice that their dreams have gone
There is no punishment
When government cooperates
We're forced to live in this
Pathetic rancid cesspool

Fifty years you've struggled to make your dreams come true
How shocked you'll be when you find out that they're not for you
All this time you've been paying for my lifestyle
A puppet string-bound oblivious all the while
I'll steal away the hopes for which the people fought
Then I'll just play dumb whenever I get caught
If the truth comes out and they prove my theft
I'll be a coward and put the gun to my head
