Fourth of July

This great country was built on oppression
Vows and treaties and promises broken
Unrestrained appetites for land and injustice
Claiming a god who gives us these rights


Capitalism, the foundation to our house of hatred
The scent of money and class are putrid
You can do anything if you’re the white one percent
May god and government pity the rest


Pick up your weapons and shoot down your brothers
All blame is on you, the vile brown Other
Your rage is because of your “absentee father”
Not because we fucked you both over


Fourth of July, your freedom’s a lie
Independence from accountability
Freedom to destroy the lives of the many
Patriotism to hypocritical ideals


So let’s blow shit up in the name of celebration
A fitting tradition for a violent nation

  1. I'm not impressed at all, in fact discussed with the whole theme!
    The only reason your able to express your thoughts on this is because of the freedoms won by Americans shedding there own blood and having a constitution that alows you the right of free speech!
