A Republic Crumbles

A looted treasury
And a Government stumbles
With heavy deficit
A Republic crumbles

A country failing
So a State rebels
Another follows
Revolution swells

A Liberal failure
And Conservative disaster
Two parties serving
A Federal master

A people divided
A Police State grows
More and more taxes
So rebellion arose

The States are separate
And can choose a course
Even when facing
A Federal force

The force is of dollars
Thrown their way
A carrot on a stick
To be pulled away

Homes are taken
Jobs disappear
This Federal monster
Is something to fear

Politicians do nothing
Not doing their job
They just sit in the Congress
No more than a mob

This system in failure
Need be torn down
And State rights restored
Before we all drown

An abusive Uncle
Sam is his name
His nieces and nephews
Just pawns in his game

He forces his will
And is grabbing for power
So our love for our Uncle
Is now bitter and sour

This Federal relatives
Cost is too steep
We can no longer afford
To let the blind lead the sheep
