Giving In To The Monster

Government "help" to business is just as disasterous
as government persecution...the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hand off. Ayn Rand 1905-1982

Giving In To The Monster

It's growing now to monstrous proportions
Helping our businesses thrive
But they really are making some impossible contortions
Just barely to keep them alive

Everything they touch leads to a failing
In poverty they send us to drive
Social Security and the Post Office flailing
In each endeavor they're instructed to contrive

Out of the darkeness rides an ambitious horseman
Spouting promises to gain our support
We're expected to let him steer the course, man
And accept what he has to report

What he wants is the government in charge of our asses
And will supply everyone with all that they need
They'll gain the support of the underprivleged masses
Who won't work for the meals that we feed

Forcing big business to gravel to the state
There is no reason to work to succeed
The taxpayers leave the big government they hate
And the middle class suffers under government greed

We are no longer We The People that our government works for
They have turned it around as we slept
So now we're the people enslaved to our government
And can only look back with regret

Progressive politics took hold of the reins
And broke the steed of our Founders
And we slip and we slide as their agenda makes gains
As We the People goes under and flounders
