The flaws and holes exposed in America
Patriotism

The oblivious to the hideous, are they idiots? Or just loyal?
The crimes we commit, contradict, as I stand on blood soaked soil
Brain washing tactics, constitutional back flips, and leaders of guns are crowned royal

Want evidence we stole this shit? Look at the red of the flag,
White striped across, to remind who the color in charge is,
Blue is the sorrow they portray, but don’t give a fuck regardless,

1rst amendment was censored, but packaged as un tampered,
2nd amendment was strip searched, as guns are not the answer,
Every move we make is for wealth, America’s system’s just a topless dancer,

We invade to defend, sugar coat and pretend,
Say we’re fighting for freedom,
When every 10 or more years, it’s just the start of a war season,

Money hungry, blood thirsty, weapons at endless supply,
Snatch the tax out your paycheck, eating your half of the American pie,
I’ll choose to live here by choice, but wont co sign to America’s lies,

Crossed over from Bush, to Barack a black man in the flesh,
I don’t give a fuck about color; I still don’t trust anyone behind a government desk,
When a majority rules, no ones scared to either agree protest or object,

I’m a weaponless warrior, and never use iron to fight,
As I cock back the truth, using brutal honesty to snipe,
More ammunition, the more you to try to disguise your wrongs as your rights,

Final oath to my country, as I rise to praise a nation,
That belittles the little, nurturing the wealthy population,

I refuse to be, just another number waiting in line
Not robotically patriotic, but a man with my own mind
