A once ol' glory


They walk They talk They run For fun They drink they smoke and outlaw guns The flag, it waves, but people say it's a racist way to communicate The rainbow rises and the drugs entice them History forgotten Pot is rottin Their minds are gone and Police they shot Marines are on it Reason is not in Media's lyin People are buyin Folks are dyin Mothers cryin Daddy's gone and Bodies pilin Hero's are villains Villains are idols They poppin their pills And cherries for miles They forgot their way The price that paid For us to share A peaceful place The men erase The work they placed Said "Twas a disgrace" They watch through the sound The lights the phones They break down the doors And into your homes They don't like the guns Or the people rights They use the excuse We're about to fight The once ol' glory makes one more plight Give us back our liberities and rights!
