I Am My Father's Daughter

I wake up in a sweat and open my eyes
corruption and injustice all around me
government spoon-feeds us bowls of lies
government is just a fancy word for slavery
Democracy as it was born is long forgotten
Socialism has been lost forever as well
Other political beliefs stripped of meaning
Any of these concepts no one can ever tell
and the truth you want is never the same
not for them, not for you, not for me
we're all just pawns in some sick game
never knowing if we are ever trully free
Slavery thrust upon us by and by
and the shackles strapped on us
as we keep eating up every vile lie
You may cripple our bodies but never our words!
You might have me be alone, broken and poor
and you may take all that I ever had
all those things I can and will endure
but you shall never cripple who I am!
I am my father's daughter after all
I walk the path of the righteous
and eventually I shall watch you fall
and then the world will belong to us!
