Revelation

It was woven together so lightly
We could have seen it even slightly
That they fooled themselves
And kept it all on the shelves

We just kept a smile on our faces
When they all ran their races
But they never moved beneath
And they lied through their teeth

And when we thought it all ended
Thought it was all mended
And thought we could go on with our lives
They started to pay us with tens and fives

Then they gave us the constitution
And formed an institution
Told us it’s part of evolution
They said it’s all just a revolution

And we bought their well made lies
Some worshiped them like they are from the skies
We never thought we were being deceived
That they were traitors who conceived

We lived by their choices
Never raised our voices
We heaved to their words
Like they ruled our worlds

While they fought each other
And we thought they were all together
Because that’s what was shown
But we could have known

Told us to live by their decision
Told us it was the only solution
They sold this beloved nation
We were in for a revelation



And we believed it was right
Because they gave some of us a fright
So we put them up above our height
I believe it’s time to fight
