Going Down

Samuel Adams (1722-1803) Sam was a founding father and was one of the people who took a prominent role in the Boston Tea Party...
No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can easily be subdued when knowledge is diffused and virture is preserved. On the contrary. When people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the weight of foreign invaders.


Going Down

We go about our daily lives
Trusting all is going well
While from the inside we are invaded
They are leading us to hell

And hell is a life of idle times
Where our leaders will gain and prosper
While feeding us entitlements
As they pose as the great imposter

They will tax the people who toil
And have found prosperity
Those who provide the jobs we work
To retain our integrity

They'll give all the idle everything
Keeping them under their control
In the guise of their humanity
As government power begins to grow

We'll no longer need to fear
Invaders from foreign soil
Because the enemy lives in Washington
And our liberty they did spoil

The Founders will be just a memory
Fading sowly as patriots die
And our youth will only be taught about them
Just enough to get them by

Instead of a government for the people
They will work for us no more
And our children will never know the liberty
Their parents had before

The affluent will all be government
The people will live without a goal
It began with the entitlements
On the day we sold our souls
