The 'Tipster' to his shrink (six months before the Iraq debaucle) vented his guts and then was encouraged to write a song...this timely piece was used on National Public Radio in both Virginia and West Virginia.
Written in November 2002, I was attending Shepherd University and taking Political Science courses. I saw it coming. At the time I was afraid it would get this bad. ...Tipster
We the People
Somethings got to give here, Somethings got to change
We the People won’t play their games
Politicians crazy, Money pulls their strings
Planning world destruction and the crowning of a king
Chorus:
We the People, we got to get it back
They sold our constitution for a tank of gas
We the People, we got to hold the line
There’ll be no war in our name; we don’t believe their lies
Elections turned to auctions, democracy’s a sham
Republicrats bought and sold to fit the corporate plan
The Villains of tomorrow are accomplices today
Until they shake the status Quo and then there’s hell to pay
Chorus
Jefferson had warned us, it doesn’t take too long
for Governments to fall corrupt and do their people wrong
So a peaceful revolution is what we need to wage
so that “All Men are Created Equal” can mean just what it says
Chorus X2
