OSTRICH MAN

Copyright 2013 – Robert E. Shandor

 

They don’t do much to get their pensions and pay
And what little they do is just to take away
The rights you have as a citizen
While they tell us tall tales they’ve spun from spin
From spin

 

There are two sets of laws that govern our land
And which one you get depends on your clan
Steal food for your kids, go to jail and stay
But steal a billion for fun and get to walk away
Away

 

You can put your head in the sand
Start down the path of the Ostrich Man
Hope the issues just go away
And leave you to your life of play
But if you won’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for anything
If you don’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for everything

 

As they ravage our planet in their kickback-lust
And privatize what’s left of the public trust
They couldn’t care less about anything we need
And just dance for masters driven by a boundless greed
Huge greed

 

There’s this thing they call the “Revolving Door”
It should bear a sign that says For Use By Whores
This is the best damn congress that’s ever been bought
It’s time to kick them all out for the pain they’ve wrought
They’ve wrought

 

You can put your head in the sand
Start down the path of the Ostrich Man
Hope the issues just go away
And leave you to your life of play
But if you won’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for anything
If you don’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for everything

 

Hey-yo, they gotta go
Killin’ our world, it ain’t dyin’ slow
Hey-yey, won’t you stay
Join our fight for another day

 

Hey-yo, they gotta go
Killin’ our world, it ain’t dyin’ slow
Hey-yey, won’t you stay
Join our fight for another day

Hey-yo, they gotta go
Killin’ our world, it ain’t dyin’ slow
Hey-yey, won’t you stay
Join our fight for another day

 

Hey-yo, they gotta go
Killin’ our world, it ain’t dyin’ slow
Hey-yey, won’t you stay
Join our fight for another day

 

If you won’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for anything
If you don’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for everything

 

If you won’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for anything
If you don’t stand up for something
Then you’ll sit still for everything

Everything

Everything
