The Rise And Fall Of Change

Year by year they all got weaker

Listening, oh listening to their keeper

It started out small

With some change, that’s all

From the czars who wear their capes

Tight around their napes

Put in charge by the man who promised change

Oh boy did they get change

But no one thought it strange

All puppets to the law

That is what brought their fall

From democracy to totalitarian

All the rules for their good

But a few understood

They were lied to from the start

And they know in their heart

They can never be free from the clutches of the man

So they’ve produced a brilliant plan

Painting scarlet in the streets

With the czars beneath their feet

Freedom in their minds

Anger in their souls

And they fill the gaping holes

Society has oppressed upon them

Revolution, breaking free

We all know how the world really needs to be
