This One's For You

by Alice Lovelace
Atlanta, Georgia

This is for all the Dicks in charge
From Cheney to the other Dicks at large
For Bush G and this sidekick Junior
All their oil advisors and right wing crooners

Spreading lyrics of fear - doomsday tribulations
Upsetting the balance of human relations
With a bomb for tit and a bomb for tat
Cutting human programs while execs get fat

Shut down critics with a bogus flag flap
Signing gang style at their pressroom raps
Tell you to give your life for the nation
Ship their kids off on European vacations

Scientist say there will come a day
When you can’t tell shit by the smell of it
When the evil mind will look good to you
When police will spy while being fed
Cause the real police is in your head

While the country burns at the hands of its own
We recruit a national military for loan
Expert in the hunt for suspicious dark faces
However, America’s terrorists are avowed white racists

You got Eric Rudolph -- young McVeigh
And a host of others we protect to this day
From the Ku Klux Klan to Christ Identity
The FBI gives them immunity

And to you and me they give the third degree
Racial profiling, wire tapes give the illusion
That religion is the cause of this mass confusion

Scientist say there will come a day
When you can’t tell shit by the smell of it
When the evil mind will look good to you
When police will spy while being fed
Cause the real police is in your head

Playing by the rules takes a hit these days
Even coaches lie on their resume
False convictions thrown out each day
False evidence, bad lawyers, court cost to pay

Businessmen lie about corporate profits
Pensions disappear into Swiss banker's pockets
What makes a CEO worth 500 million dollars?
While a teacher is treated like a dog on a collar

Yanking education like a hambone treat
Blessed by the government ruling elite
Children don't expect a quality education
Society schools them on diminished expectations

This is the poem that never ends
Cause the craziness goes on and on my friend
You drop a bomb on my tower/I drop a bomb on your wedding
Tears for all victims I find myself shedding

Up from the depths of my depression
Come these newsworthy items that bear confessing

Scientist say there will come a day
When you can’t tell shit by the smell of it
When the evil mind will look good to you
When police will spy while being fed
Cause the real police is in your head
In your head
In your head
In your head
