Plato: "The price of apathy toward public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
THE PEOPLE IN THE DISTANCE
The joy of liberty now so immediately in peril
Ignorance and apathy still prevail
The people watching at a distance say
"It's just another period of hard times"
Nothing can befall the most powerful of nations
That would bring her to her knees
The people watching at a distance say
"Let the patriots do their duty, we'll be fine"
As the evil men elected settle in
And transform our beloved country into a cowering welfare state
The people watching at a distance say
"Where is my freedom? This place is no longer mine!"
Economy crashed and irreparable
Jobs at a premium while fat cats sit in power
The people in the distance say
"Who let this happen? Where were the signs?"
