Politicians - D.L. Hughley

They used to put flowers in gun barrels I tried it once and got my face maced And I feel just like a little girl facing a mountain of trolls Armed with only my clothes and my words Voluntary slavery to the debt machine Pirates and politicians are the same thing "Give me your money and you will be saved" You bought your place in heaven don't you wish you were dead?
