American dream
When we came to these shores of Promise
We were given a new lease on life
And welcomed newfound freedom
With tears in our eyes
But we noticed with passing years
The rank, familiar smell
Of government domination
Turning paradise into hell
Papers required for travel
And permits for everything
Controlling on many levels
What once was the American dream
The past was not truly perfect
And today is not so bad
But the future will be a horror
Unless we reverse this trend
Reverse it, resist, but truly
Protesting is not enough
Bureaucrats don't care
We argue and they just laugh
When we came to these shores of Freedom
We ran from unequal fights
But the front has caught up with us here
We ran out of havens for flight
It's the last, lonely line of trenches
And the choices are do or die
We could live as serfs, I am sure
But who would want such a life?
What have you done this year?
This month? Or even today?
Not time for open warfare
But long past for clandestine raids
Give one inch and they will take miles
So allow them nothing at all
Give them neither votes nor money
Deny your approval, walk tall
Let the feds be like dogs in the wild
Surrounded by wolves
Let them bark, posture and growl
Then help their bodies cool
It may be too early to shoot them
But leave them out in the cold
Deny them your business and company
Like forefather had done of old
Boycott any foul creature
That denies your freedom and lies
That all their crass impositions
Are for the betterment of our lives
Being a klansman is held by most
In very low esteem
TSA should be viewed also
As stupid, useless and mean
Let them cry, unheard in the wilderness
Give neither shelter nor aid
They already spread too much fear
It's now their turn to be afraid
We were given a new lease on life
And welcomed newfound freedom
With tears in our eyes
But we noticed with passing years
The rank, familiar smell
Of government domination
Turning paradise into hell

And permits for everything
