Democracy


Our world is full of hate and lies

Goverment's always watching spies

Watching like a bird of prey

Stalking nations night and day

Democracy is why we're great

It will also be our fate

We chose them to fill our needs

But within strife their power feeds

They send the poor off to fight

As if to defend their rights

But the truth is a sad story--

They only care about their glory.
