The good and the bad we view on TV <br />We all live here together, in the land of the free <br /> <br />Hollywood decides who is good - and who is bad <br />The viewers cheer on the good guys - this is so sad. <br /> <br />The good guys all defend the corrupt-and evil empire <br />We see them all as heroes - caught in the cross fire <br /> <br />The bad guys are paid to play the role of psychological <br />Blunders <br />Have you noticed the way these cops, come on as super <br />Wonders <br /> <br />Not only on screen, but in real life as well <br />For they live to lock up all the misfits - into a cell. <br /> <br />They say it’s their job, to serve the community. <br />What they see in America, is the land of opportunity. <br /> <br />They protect the rich and powerful, who have control of <br />The working class <br />For they would rather kiss a-, than to work like a jackass <br /> <br />To fight for your country, - is not to side with the <br />Corporations <br />But, to rebel against the system - which created such <br />Conditions <br /> <br />So many brave men are doing time, with their names <br />Being slandered <br />For they would not conform - to this so called - life standard <br /> <br />For, the Lord takes no sides, with him the bad guys are well Understood <br />Those who side with the system - are truly the real hoods. <br /> <br /> 'Quote' <br />“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.” H.L.
