Lyrics
SHAM
Picture if you will
a brotherhood of bluster
Boastful empathy
and self-anointed luster
The preachers of a secular devotion
Replacing logic with emotion
Let me count the days
in manufactured crises
Shameless giveaways
and nasty new surprises
Makes Me Want To Scream!
Chanting refrains with collectivist aims
they condone setting cities aflame
Grasping at straws with prohibitive laws
they demand you subscribe to the cause
Lunatics find that committing a crime
Makes them victims who never serve time
Bloated agencies
and pain redistribution
Universities
promoting persecution
Makes Me Want To Scream!
Insolent windbags who peddle the scam
Of a sick and illogical sham
Standards decline and it’s all by design
as destructive agendas align
White-coat Messiahs say, "mankind is done,"
But then,
Life Cannot Grow In A Sterilized Pond!
It’s a religion of the Godless
founded on borders of the mind
Placing resentment over values
Aimed at the gutless and the blind
Parrot the slogans or be banished
You’re either ally or you’re prey
As with their mantra of oppression
They measure every word you say
Voice your objections, no matter how strong, because…
No One Can Speak With A Paralyzed Tongue!
Imagine there no nation
Nothing to call your own
No God in our creation
Just soulless flesh and bone
Spreading misery
and placing blame on others
How can we be free
While shutting down our brothers?
Divided by this secular devotion
Replacing logic with emotion…
Mandates to the people
Mandates to the people
Mandates to the people
Mandates to the people are wrong…
