Operation Injustice

How can this be happening in the millennium
We’re so intelligent, got rocket ships, got Pentiums
We’re so rich, so technologically advanced
So tell me why there’s children
Who were never even given a chance
Never learned to dance, never learned to sing
Never learned to love, only learned to bring-
Unto their own all the hate and rage they bared
Because they’re babies having babies
And no one ever cared
Society helps raise them from the moment of conception
Paying tax dollars because mamma never used contraception
So what do you know about a “hard knock life”
I’ve been living with poverty
Like she is my wife
Poverty’s a bitch
And lady liberty’s a whore
She’s selective
And only liberates those who adore
Her justice system that is so unjust
And these people have the nerve to say “in GOD we trust?”
What do they know about God, or higher powers
Their actions causing controversy
There’s people blowing up towers
Never reevaluating the actions they propose
The blind leading the blind
In a quest to conquer those-
Of rare distinction, they’re inhabitants of rich soil
Call it “Operation Iraqi Freedom”
I’ll call it “Free Oil”
