For Me!?

Hello!
Remember me   your future,
its for me you rape the land
its for me you sack the workers

the land can’t speak
the proles are shirkers

What will you say   when
I can’t breathe
I can’t love
I can’t get a job
all I can do
is what you taught me to
   hate   and   blame
all those who aren’t like me,
killing them will set me free

What will you say   when
your creation leaves you to rot,
dying in a nursing home,
where no one comes to visit
what will you say?

The blacks are scum
the poor are not human
the old must all die some day
it cannot happen any other way

What will you say   when
more money can’t save us
your schemes are all failures
white sheets are invisibly worn
society is ripped and torn
what will you say?

The market cannot be wrong
the problem is the reds, the bong,
the hippy layabouts with their love,
the iron fist must be taken from the glove

What will you say   when
I get beaten up for a pair of shoes
I’ve got coke, crack or heroin to choose
I can’t chew with rotten teeth
I decide to become a thief
what will you say?

I do it for you!

What will you say   when
I don’t want your future -
the cardboard boxes, the empty streets
I don’t want your vision
once green wastelands, dirty water
I don’t need your politics,
divide and rule, give to the rich
I don’t like your prejuidice -
crucify the needy, give to the sheiks
what will you say?

But, but , but…

what will you say   when
I try to build a better future
rejecting your laws of the dollar
I create a new society,
where people sing and are free
I have a better vision -
people making their own decisions
I put a new plan into action
rights with duties, duties with rights, no reaction

what will you say?

And when are you gonna say it?

I don’t care what you say,
I just hope its not too late!
