Cancer
For better or for worse, we're forever to reverse
Don't shoot the messenger for lessening your worth
When colluding with these creditors and senators since birth..
Practically.. Actually, imbedded in this Earth
Is our mastery of tragedy, the apathy we've earned..
We practice a feigned indifference, maintaining a sickness
The frame rate has a glitch, and we're placating the witnesses
Same way we save face maintaining a business..
I'm an American, and still don't know what the dream is..
A war-like people.. Standing fast for God as written
Damned, if not for enemies and manufactured opposition
Hand ‘em back your non-religion, Ordinary Joe..
Cancer mass of politicians promising to stay the same
Taking blood by hand of God, but never taking name in vain
Clever snake is staking claim.. He's so dedicated
Legislative measures taken, medicated saviors
Only demonstrated taking pain.. The system.. Is broken..
Too proud to call ourselves guilty, so the "victims" have spoken..

could be better but really loved the "I'm an American, and still don't know what the dream is " and the ""victims" have spoken."

Thanks for reading! Comments like "Could be better" amuse me.. Now, I'm not scoffing at your opinion, -all opinions are valid- but comments like that implicate I was trying to meet a standard other than my own..

Thanks man! Much better video on the way. This was just a quick practice run before we filmed for real the following day.

Much enjoyed :)
