Thinthread

Our laws are elastic,
Stretching to meet government demand.
Our slave-fucking forefathers must be
Rolling around in their graves.
They say it's in the name of security,
But it's only in a false sense of:
Perception is reality.

Think twice before speaking
The omnipresent country is listening
Laws evoked out of thin air,
We have no mouths, but we must scream.

The Patriot Act covers all their legalities
Our rights? They blew up with the terrorists.
Panicked politicians making sweeping changes.
What Constitution? There are no rules on a "War on Terror".
The enemy doesn't hate our freedom, our own leaders do.
And little-by-little they're taking them away
And for a "democracy", we have very little say.
