Lambs...

We follow them like lambs
to the slaughterhouse.
We follow them to war;
Those who make, not help the poor.
 

Each year they make their promises
that they vow they will not break;
Until we go to war
“For our nation’s sake.”
 

We follow them like lambs
to the slaughterhouse.
We follow them through Hell
just to hear that tolling bell.
 

From office they retire
to avoid the burning fire.
We’re stuck with someone more corrupt;
Another God damned liar.
 

We follow them like lambs
to the slaughterhouse.
We follow them to war;
Those who make, not help the poor.

So true it is "Put not your trust in nobles for they are looking to guide even their own steps"
