Where Once Stood a Great Land
Please play while you read this
Once a land of the free, filled with honor and pride
By men and women who served and offered their lives
A land where people live free from terrorist strife
Where men and women can choose what to do with their life
But we face a new threat in this country today
From elected officials that by our taxes are paid
They set up a health care and retirement plan
With a free family medical and a pay that’s quite grand
They raise our taxes to cover their wants and needs
Pass laws to protect them so they can do as they please
It’s a private membership club of liars, lawyer’s and thieves
It’s a club called congress, with back room deals and of greed
And how then can we change the club they’ve instilled
They know we can’t change it and there’s no way they will
So they try to appease us with our new health care plan
But even it’s filled with loopholes payouts and scams
Politicians come forward and say they’ll fight all they can
And ask for our votes with their promise to take up our stand
But once they’re elected and become a part of the club
They’ll forget about us and the cause they once said they loved
But in two years campaign time will come once again
And those who asked for our votes will do so again
They’ll talk of a new plan a better one than before
But they will need more money to get their foot in the door
So we sit back and watch as they take our country one day
Take our family values; pursuit of happiness and retirement away
They’ll take our religion, our freedom and our guns as well
And we’ll sit back and ask why, this, our great country fell
It may well come to pass because we won’t take a stand
And we’ll watch those we elect take our homes and our land
One day where this country once stood, a new one will stand
And learn of our failures and how once there was a great land
