Oh Say Can You See
Wishing every night that I would pass away
So I won’t have to live in hell another day
Rebellion building strong
Our government is wrong
Like Vietnam before
Soon they’ll draft into the war
Our time will soon be coming
We can’t stall until our children
Our government corrupt
We must overthrow this villain
Our flag is not united
The stitches all are breaking
The stripes of blood are leaking
On the covered lies of white
The tears of blue are drowning
drenching 50 stars with pain
Our freedom left us long ago
Hijacked on a plane
History’s repeating
All of us still bleeding
And we all learned
That he’ll never listen
He’s learned nothing
And our eyes still glisten
With tears that are falling
We are falling
Down
Down
Down

Great writing, and I am sure it will be misunderstood. But, to be great is to be misunderstood…!
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root…
Wow. I REALLY like that quote. And I think you’re right. It will be misunderstood. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of “You don’t know how lucky you have it”s. But that’s my point. We have it lucky and it’s becoming not so lucky.
