"Payin' The Minds"
©2002 Joe A. Buccellato


Open your eye's and see
what you don't see
that I can see.
It's no surprise to me
why nothing's fair
and nothing's free.
We spend our lives
payin' the minds
of those that will destroy us.
They want it all
from everyone
and still to them
it's not enough.

Some great Country this turned out to be.
What was once a great land
is being ruined by
greed and poverty.
Time after time there's more crime
and who do you think's to blame?
Everyone who's in charge
who don't care
and don't feel one ounce of shame.

Don't they see this is why
the crime rate's so high?
Most of us aint rich
so we do what must be done to survive.
Can't they see that we're all
getting tired of this?
We're living on change
while they all have our cash in their fists.

We're born to learn
and live by their rules.
It's hard to not feel hate.
The game they play will catch up with them...
to only put us ALL in checkmate!
