A funny little song about torture and the loss of civil liberties in America .

lyrics

The Rags of Liberty

They don't serve cupcakes in this jail ,
indefinitely detained here , no charges evidence or bail ,
My advice ?
Be careful with your mail ,
Keep opinions to yourself or you'll end up in a cell .

Bipartisan consensus, the government has finally come to it's collective senses .

"Torturer , that could be a good occupation . I mean if in you can't find work flippin hamburgers !"

My living room is front and center . In America's global holy war on terror .

"Whadda you worried about , your innocent ,. You don't even have an opinion !"
At least now you can be happy knowing that your never really alone !
"Who needs rights anyway , I don't care , you can assassinate my children !"

You say you can bug my telephone,
Geo locate me when and where I roam,
I once felt safest in my home,
then I committed treason when I wrote this silly poem.

They can torture people as they please ,
use a bloody scalpel between your navel and your knees,
You never get a lawyer, not when your seized,
they feel about the constitution the way a leper feels towards his disease .

" Just wave that flag faster ,maybe they won't notice us !"

My living room is front and center , In America's global holy war on terror .

"The Bill of Rights ? Didn't I already pay for that ?"
