Living on the Run


Run son Look how far we have come The worlds a better place and our problems are undone But have we really took the leap we thought? So many things are wrong with this one life we got And I'm not saying its an evil plot But how come WalMart drops every mom and pop shop Wipes towns out like an A-bomb dropped They won't stop No shot THEY'RE CLIMBING FROM THE ROOFTOP And I'm not saying I don't love the states It's the place where I live and I plan to stay But I'm sick of the roles that parties play Brainwashing people for the parties sake It makes my body ache We're always in the same place Never moving forward, campaigning for the next race The institution that should keep us safe Is whats dividing and providing this world with hate And it's not just religion that could come undone Everything's messed up and were all just living on the run

This is a poem about a couple of major issues concerning the great United States of America. It concentrates on two major flaws in our countries system that have been eating at me for a while.
