They Say

"In God We Trust", that's what they say
They want us to believe it.
But money is the God they praise,
I just can not conceive it.

They say that "We the People"
Make the laws that we live by,
But then they piggy back the laws
and they do it on the sly.

They say we must preserve the land
for all those who will follow,
then sell off all the mineral rights
and drain it 'til it's hollow.

"Bring us your huddled masses",
"Freedom to every Quarter",
then they spend a billion dollars
Building fences on the Border.

They tell us we should seek out Peace
and Walk the path of Beauty,
Then send our children overseas
To fight, 'cause it's their duty.

They tell us all to cast our vote
then they don't seem to mind it
when votes are lost by some strange "glitch"
Don't fret, they said they'll find it.
