What We Do Not See

In the home of the brave and the land of the free

Greed

Corruption 

Lies

Are what we do not see

We fight wars because "freedom is not free"

Money

Power 

Oil 

Are the true motives that be

We care not of these issues, they don't involve me

Cars

Clothes

Jewelry

Let's go on a shopping spree

We are kept distracted by what's on TV.

Sports

Movies

Games

We live our lives carefree

Listen now, please hear my plea

Truth

Logic

Justice

Are what we must seek
