FREEDOM FOR SALE


Is our freedom worth anything?
That’s hard to tell
When to all comers,
We are willing to sell

We, once deeply rooted,
Until patriotism’s tree fell
Now find our eyes lighting up,
At the sound of the puppet master’s bell

We heed their call,
Bidding integrity farewell
And with open arms we follow the corrupt cartel,
To fetch from corruptions well

They make our pockets get fatter,
They help our stomachs swell,
But ultimately we only combine to ruin our nation,
Causing it to plummet into hell
