Freedom in Debt

Three days after the bombing and it's a police state in Boston,
"Proceed with you days in caution," Shit, I'm in a daze of exhaustion,
Crazed and nauseous, This place has lost it as the fear consumes,
We're near the doom it's here entombed in your mind, There it's
Embedded from the crimes of terriosts,
"Don't go outside!! Thats careless!! You'll Die!! You'll Perish!!"
Sidewalks lined with sheriffs and soldiers that told us to keep a heightened awareness
These days, We need a police state to be safe? Gee...Great...
We can't even see straight but they relay a message today
That they wanna take our weapons away, And with us left in disarray
With people dyin and bleedin they may find a reason
To believe it's time, it's needed, Grab a petition and sign and release it
To the mass in the street to get past their grief
So we can at last be at ease, But I'm one who happens to believe
My guns a defense, But when something hits like this people get up against
And rushed and pissed on the cusp of fits because of lies from politicians
That go by on a mission to find a higher position of power,
So in this hour that desires redemption from cowards
It becomes a need to campaign, They see the slain as a way to win an election
With bits of deception that gets us guessin
About our neighbors, Though devout in prayer, Every kid in Islam
Is equipped with boms, Least that's what they spout in the papers,
I'll say aloud I wager that now or later we'll want them bound and tapered
To get the hoards calm, The way I see them they're prayin with sore palms,
"They hate us because of our freedom," Well they oughta love us before long....
