[hometext] => Equality in the USA is a joke!
[bodytext] => November 30, 2010 Tuesday 9:03 p.m. Equality In the U.S. of A. Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Declaration! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the yoke! A person with a dollar gotta' spend it on milk and bread, While a person with a million can amplify the voice inside their head; When there ain't no equality of voice, there ain't no freedom of choice, 'cuz when only money can be heard, they're both dead! Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Constitution! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the yoke! Looks to me like in "The Nation Under God," Some people are more equal than others! There ain't nobody ever hears, The precious voice of our working mothers! What ever it is these mothers are free to say The bankrolled elité easily smothers! Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Declaration! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the yoke! Tell me: Where is equal justice, under the law When our Supreme Court gives corporations citizenship? How can a common man outshout all this manipulative corporate ****? How can they stand shoulder to shoulder wearin' a bridle and a bit! Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Constitution! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the yoke! Obviously we're not talkin' 'bout Freedom of Speech! We're talkin' 'bout the amplification of speech! Naw! We ain't talkin' 'bout an innocent day at the beach! We're talkin' 'bout the habits of a blood-suckin' leech! Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Declaration! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the rich man's yoke! Don't be taken in by their sound bites and talking points; Don't swallow their well spun half truths and lies; These "Patriots" are playin' you for the fool and laughing all the way to the bank, While "The Nation Under God" slowly dies... Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Constitution! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the rich man's yoke! Yeah! And when parents are wearin' the yoke, the children are, too! And that's somethin' needs to be corrected by me and you! Equality in the U.S.A., I'm sorry to say, "It's a joke!" A mockery and travesty of our Declaration! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the rich man's yoke! Ain't no doubt who's wearin' the rich man's yoke! Yeah! Our children are wearin' the rich man's yoke!
