civil


As we remain "civil" the world passes us by As we remain "civil" Brothers continue to die. The rights that our ancestors fought for and "won" Still have to be voted on You said pardon the pun. Education is the key But the key is in the vault No money, pockets empty Its not my fault! The Civil War goes on and the North is losing, They say slavery is over but they only changed the chains. They're invisible now and if you don't agree as President Obama Or also known as Obama. Chains of recession sequester fillibuster low wages no wages no pampers no milk baby's crying Daddy's dying And we can't even pay for the casket. We can't even go to hell, they took the basket. But I remain civil as we continue to die.
