More 1776

[Bob Loblaw]

Less 1984.
Grow some balls,
Stand up and be heard.

Your ancestors would've bombed federal buildings,
You get dragged to them in handcuffs.
Corrupt officials feared the people,
You fear the tax man.
Bow down to UncleBig Brother Sam.
Live for nothing;
Die for anything.

Lose your rights,
Call it security.
Lose your privacy,
Call it protection.
Lose your sentience,
Call it patriotism.

Hoard the guns
Lock up the books
Preserve your minds.

Pay your government to deceive you.
Die for avaricious corporations.
Starve yourself for "beauty".

Dress alike
Talk alike
Act alike
Think alike
Choke on your own conformity.

You are a fucking machine.

That was good, I agree with you individuality is more and more being seen as unamerican when that was the main trait we founded this country on.

i like the theme as it is, but i like the message. for too many, these things go unnoticed in their lives.

without looking at your location, i had already guessed you were in america after having read this

I like it. I like it a lot. It's a message that needs to be heard more.

 

[Mjäll]

I like it. I like it a lot. It's a message that needs to be heard more.

Agreed.

I'm not American, but I can really appreciate the sentiment; linking those two years in particular is a very clever device to immediately create the contrast you're writing about too. After reading this my first thought was how cool 'less 1984 more 1776' would sound as a rallying slogan.

Wow Bob that is really really awesome. That's the coolest thing I've maybe ever read on BL.
