I was born and raised an orpan in a land that once was free, In a land that poured its love out on the moon. I grew up in the shadow of your silos filled with grain but you never helped to fill my empty spoon. When I was 10 you murdered law with courtroom politics And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth But now I know you better and I dont fall for all your tricks And youve lost the one advantage of my youth. And your money says in God we trust, but its against the law to pray in school. You say we beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children to do it The politicians all ake speeches and the Newsmen all take note, They exaggerate the issues as they shove down our throats. Is it really up to them whether this country sinks or floats ? And I wonder who would lead us if none of us would vote. My phone is tapped and my lips are chapped from talking thru the fence. You know every move I make or is that just coincudence? Would you try to make my way of life a little less like jail, If I promise to make tapes and slides and send them through the mail? And your money says in God we trust, but its against the law to pray in school. You say we beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children to do it. You say all men are equal and all men are brothers Then why are the rich more equall than others? Dont ask me for the answer; Ive only got one. That a man leaves his darkness wen he follows the Sun (Son).
