Citizen! Citizen, do you see?
The Government you voted in,
The men who stand for you,
Sit idly as you suffer,
Sign away your rights,
And fatten their purse
With all your coin.
Citizen! Citizen, do you know?
That all who fought before
Knew more freedom than you,
Had more rights to defend
Against all foes imaginary and real,
Against tyranny
And for despotism,
Citizen! Citizen, you have been betrayed!
All that voted
All who abstained,
Betrayed just the same,
Those in power
Make your children destitute,
While in patriotism they deliver
The death warrant of the Dream,
Across seas and across time,
They linger in shadows,
They watch and they plot,
They deliver death from a distance
And crown themselves Defender,
They murder and steal
And clothe in righteousness their crimes,
Citizen! Citizen, do you not see?
You are no longer free.
