Our Leaders Are Not Our Nation Poem by Kevin Patrick
Our Leaders Are Not Our Nation
Toast tyranny a wager at the checkmark in the box
With cryola ideology simpatico to your thoughts
Compromise your belief with a representative of choice
In a year they'll impeach a bipartisan platform
When the tally is in it will make your head spin
Crush your faith to a pulp, Thomas Paines be engulfed
Your realities a minority dog food for the majority
So commune to the bars in your fishbowls for debating
For our leaders are not our nations
They strip mine the facts for elation
Our leaders are not our nation
They all toast their own egos fornication
Take a page out from Hinkley, apply a gun to the vote
Register complains sitting outside of Sussex drive
Watch out for the cameras and the guards in the cars
Don't fault a Fawkes pass if you want the blues loose
How many years since the Accords of Meech lake
Repatriate out country into the piece of a steak
Found in pockets of a restaurant, goodbye equality
Now go and play some Hockey, who cares about Gomery
They double talk for fun and expect us to bark
Anytime their occurs a sudden mishap
Meanwhile we suffer by corporation's power
Becoming state junkies for good deals at Wal-Mart
But our leaders are not our nation
We give them their place and station
Our leaders are not our nation
Execute them from the sovereign equation
If green peace were Fenians, Fort McMurray would burn
Learn from the Arabs and make a splash in the spring
Protest your unrest and leave no stone unturned
Or else you face the Ides of a Ceaser on the march
So if you are a patriot go fight for what is right
Don't dance talk in circles when I see you fire blanks
A citizens a champion for their freedom far and wide
Our leaders are not our nation they are servants to be tied
