Who Are We

Who are we
to just stand by
To live comfortably
in a lie
As the corrupt
live so high
While we barely
make it by

Who are we
with the luxury of life
Threatened daily
at the edge of a knife
To hide to not fight
to survive

Who are we
to not question
To deny
this big confession
Witness
all the oppression
Or reason
behind recession

Who are we
to breathe
With no strength
or belief
To stay humble
on our feet

Who are we
to accept defeat
When were blindsided
by deceit
Who are we
to allow to be beat
Our courage depletes
we won't compete

Who are we
when we refuse the truth
Who are we
when we deny the proof
Who are we
hanging from the noose

When they refuse
to let loose
When its the enemy
you choose
When paralyzed
by the news
When you deny the truth
who are you
