Greasing The Skids

Deep down we know it's gone wrong
but the myth of the American Dream
remains too strong

Way too deeply ingrained
in the national psyche
for any hope of the major change
we need so desperately

So go ahead and chant away

Protest the obvious inequities
of institutionalized hypocrisies 

Sure there may be more poor
than ever before
but the rich massahs still hold sway
and will scare enough sheep in 2020
with their time tested fear machine
to hold the socialist wave at bay

Do not shoot the messenger 

The pain will be only temporary

History runs on it's own timetable

Though it does try humanity's patience
