Until it happens to you

You walk past an activist, who is talking on the street about
political prisoners, locked up in your own home state and you
think just for a minute, you think just a second then you say,
"that can't be true! Cause I live in the land of the
freedom... Where no one gets the screw!" you turn your
face, you turn your back, you say, "that can't be
true!" You stay safe locked in your prefab world, cause
you're sure it won't happen to you you're sure it won't happens
to you! you heard it every day, since the first day of your
life but you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of
lies you can't question for a minute, can't question for a
second cause you're nothing but a tool whose blueprints are
tailored and fashioned, each night by the evening news you could
stand on the street, talk 'til you're blue in the face and they
would not make you stop, cause you have no power base but if Dan
Rather got on the Evening News, and said, "It's time for
revolution!" the F.B.I. would fuck him up so bad, he'd
wish he wasn't living! they call it America, "land of the
free, home of the brave" more to the truth it's a murderer,
it's the land of the Enslaved!
