Fallen: Authority

by Jersey D Gibson

Like a ball and chain, you swing,
From every rafter and branch.
Systematic decay,
Who stands tall in a pinch?

Like a sign of the times,
Labeled nonconformist.
Terrorist by duress,
Kangaroo court goes to show.

Where are our heroes now…?

Processed with extreme prejudice,
The villainy of society.

I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO CURE THE MINORITY!
Taken down like a dog,
Judge, jury, executioner, rolled in one.

I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO CURE THE MINORITY!

Bought, traded, and sold; it shows,
Am I just a whore?
Grand design or just bad luck,
Who is my master now?

Atrocity by any other name,
Is just good common sense.
Retribution in my name,
Bow to your tin god now!

Look who’s sold us out now…?

Designs and paradigms,
Your life ain’t worth a dime.

I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO CURE YOUR MINORITY!
Locked up, key thrown away
Called crazy to be ignored.

I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO CURE YOUR MINORITY!

Reach out just to be slapped down,
It’s the American way of life.
People living in constant fear,
Weapons of mass DECEPTION!

Hungry eyes and empty souls,
It’s good propaganda.
Take a slice from the top,
Watch the whole damn system fall!

Who was the one who voted you in…?

Hammer down, now take the fall,
Feel your back against the wall!

I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO CURE EVERY MINORITY!
Take back, and get shoved back,
Your freedom is just a ruse!

I'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO CURE EVERY MINORITY!
