Death by Dollar

Another day

Another death by dollar

Another fruitless quest for the twisted scholar

If the leaders cared maybe it would cease

Maybe they’d spare a thought for the middle east

Maybe they’d pull me out of the fire

Inside the belly of this beast

But this ain’t the game we are to play

Justice has always been a picture without a frame

We are compelled to accept the lie of moderation

Forced to eat the remnants of political persuasion

Expenses and recession ignoring the old man’s pension

You’ll save your pet but not a palestinian

You’ll hedge your bets

Even though you know ain’t winning them

Another day

Another death by dollar
