Gun In The Hand
the gun in the hand
of the shadowy figure
wearing the mask of oppression,
is prejudice!
the poison gases he sprays,
are ignorance and fear.
the bomb he drops
is absolute poverty.
the flag that he waves,
is corporate and consuming.
the prophecy he speaks
is a damned lie...
we take the gun from his hand,
when we dare to stand up,
and demand the truth!
