“THEM” AND US

Now “they” want to Google us
Where will all this snooping end?
Remember stories of, “Big Brother”?
Well, he’s lurking ‘round the bend.

“They” tap our phones when “they” want
Though “they” could work within the law
But “they” think “they” are above it
And we should be in shock and awe!

“They” say “they” have good reason
While “they” take our Rights away
A little bit here, a little bit there
But, isn’t that always the way?

While we pretend it doesn’t matter
Say, “It’s not that big a deal!”
But, it’s our very Constitution
That “they” are trying to steal.

Some say, “they” should have the power
To do whatever it may take
And some of “them” think our Laws
Are just something “they” can break.

“They” leave our borders open
So anyone can walk right in
While we try to fight a war
That at this rate, we’ll never win.

While “they” bend the rules to suit
The way “they” want things to be
Someday we’ll look and wonder
What happened to, this Land of the Free?
