Patriot Act

Bread and circuses in our homes each night
while freedoms slip away
all the sheep want are safe little lives
no matter what they give away

to stupid to care, to blind to see
self involvement is the creed
its not your fault, don't take responsibility
don't think for yourself or question anything

just stay within the lines set out
by government and peers
let your whole life be databased
you've got nothing to hide

until some law gets changed again
by corporate whim or worse
making you an outlaw or another contrived incident
provides the excuse to make this a police state
