the wrong side
and I'm convinced that this new
state is
taxation

watched this
new state force the 1st
Amendment to
disappear and I've
experienced the
protection of this new
omnipotent
police state of by and
for the rich

to put on my wig
and finally
say
goodbye
cause I Go a Lethal Dose of The Hound Dog
Taylor Gimme Back
