A National Anthem

A National Anthem

A Poem by Battlecry

We're built around these corporations
Greed and gluttony throughout the nation
Money, money, money
It's all we need
Money, money, money
It's how we feed

You're free, very free
Just pay the toll
Gotta sign the contract
To sell your soul

You're free, very free
Trust me and see
You can do whatever
Within the lines, we've agreed.

We'll take, take, take
So we can give give give
Give you land and a place to live

We'll take take take
So we can give give give
Don't mind the small print, cuz you're free, kid~

Guzzle it down
Gulp it up
Supersize it
And double that cup

Guzzle it down
Gulp it up
We love you, we love you
Strut your stuff


Given the chance, we can make your day
Given the chance, all you gotta do is pay
Given the chance, you're not "brainwashed", kid
We truly love you, we always did~

Now give us our money
As you get fat
The media will sell you
Like a caged rat

The government and corporations
Both of us at large
Pulling at your precious strings
To help you 'cross the yards

Trust me, trust me
It's ok
All your kids, they love us!
Isn't it great?

Trust me, trust me
It's ok
We've got a grip now
We'll make them our slaves

Good feelings all around
Of play and fun
Trust us, we're best
We know we've won

Hurry, hurry
Out that door
Come to our doorstep
To buy some more!

Gluttony! Greed! It's so pretty~
Gluttony! Greed! It's so grand...
Gluttony! Greed! It's so pretty~

Let me tell you who truly owns the land.

I adore the fact that I can knit together a blanket of emotions using nothing more than an object to write with and my own mind. Music and passion are what drives my soul to ignite. To be the best.. more..
