How we give up our freedoms before we realize what we are doing


I'm From the Government And I'm Here To Help (RUN)

I've got to pay
the bills today
and so I pray
I'll find a way
to pay them all
within the law
and avoid the gall
of a collection call
for they anger me
and won't agree
to consider my plea
to let me be
just until
I've more than nil
in my till
and can pay the bill.
I do not steal
I keep the deal
my word is real
hear my appeal.
Frustration rules
in these duels
we are fools
in drowning pools
of taxes high
near to the sky
the reason why
months go by
with bills unpaid
promises made
again delayed
shame replayed.
Government hands
tax the lands
power expands
make demands,
Say they're aid
will get bills paid.
but in the shade
they will trade.
And here's the key:
Government's fee?
you won't be free
but you'll agree.

this has a tapping sound or perhaps a ticking rhythm like a clock tic tic tic or perhaps a bomb, tic tic tic ........BOOM! greed can come in the form of such beautiful trickery. : )
