Food For the Flies (1965) Sunrise to sunset Voices are crying Cattle are being created Real men are dying Freedom is what you cry Louder every day Equality is it's basis At least thats what you say "Peace must be our goal" "It is the only way" Compromise is your answer Down on your knees you pray Down on your knees you'll stay Let me tell you sucker Let me set you straight Freedom is a word Man will soon outdate Equality is the flaw Mediocrity is it's mate Defenseless you will find Peace was just the bait Compromise is king You must negotiate You must participate Perfection is to imitate Food for the flies |
Sunrise to sunset voices are crying What is this price we pay? What is it we are buying? Our fathers fought for freedom Crossing endless seas Bringing freedom based on differences Not on forced equalities "All men are created equal" You've never ceased to quote You've never had the need To sink or swim, just float As you continue to buy the vote While others found the challenge And bridged impossible moats You sat idle in the wastelands you dreamed you built a boat A boat with a mast of half-truths A hull of hard-packed lies You sit on the sands of all-times You sit and you draw the flies Food for the flies |
Sunset to sunrise Voices are crying Free enterprise is dead The Constitution is dying Many men have tried it Marx wrote the creed From each according to ability To each according to need Socialism is what I call it It was easy to plant the seed Watered by the War on Poverty Its the Great Societies weed Your minds you did not heed Now others own the deed Food for the flies |
