Don't Kill Your Capitalist Or Your Communist Friend

Please don't kill your capitalist or your communist friend They are very similar in corruption: one uses his right hand And the other uses his left hand. Forget about philosophies They eat at the same table and they both zombify The poor mass. Forget about ideologies and policies They collude, corrupt, contaminate and mystify Everybody is fighting for power and money And hypnotize the people who cannot see With their eyes wide open. The mass is blinded By ignorance and paralyzed by inaction Don't kill the messenger who's well educated Who is giving you his honest opinion Do what you have to do? Ignore the bad politicians The sleazy hypocrites who are like magicians They know how, why and when to fake it If they tell you to jump or run, please do not They inhale; exhale and they don't smoke pot They lie like frying fish. This is only the pit Next time, please do NOT vote for them Walk away from them and let them drown in the dam.
