Land of the Free, Home of the Brave,

 

Don't act up or misbehave.

 

 Cameras in the streets catch nearly millions,

 

While we still owe many trillions.

 

 Before you cross look both ways,

 

Or jail might be your home for days.

 

You're safe to say what you want inside,

 

If the hook is where the phone resides.

 

These harsh laws won't be repealed,

 

And the consequences, you see, are very real.
