You Don’t Scare Us

Fifty Years On Project · You Don't Scare Us

You wanna impose your “One World Order”
We say you suffer from “Control Disorder”
You wall off every national border
We all know that you’re a power hoarder

You set prime rates and deflate the dollar
We see our assets are shrinking smaller
You work the markets cloaked as a scholar
We sense your nature wallowed in squalor

You claim you’re kind and altruistic
We maintain you’re all sadistic
You count each victim as one statistic
We know your schemes, you’re narcissistic

You decide what is rightful
You censor and stifle all that’s insightful
We feel your motives are deadly and frightful
You wanna destroy all that’s delightful

You serve Satan who’s out to ensnare us
We hear your lies, but God will spare us
You’re bold and brazen, and so you dare us
We bear your oppression, but you don’t scare us

You tell us there’s a global wide pandemic
We suspect it’s all a planned endemic
Your vaccine should be systemic
But evidently, it’s alchemic

You split the populous into classes
We know you’re looking through fascist glasses
You strive to dumb down the gullible masses
While we yell bluntly, “Hey! Kiss our asses!”

You serve Satan who’s out to ensnare us
We hear your lies, but God will spare us
You’re bold and brazen, and so you dare us
We bear your oppression, but you don’t scare us
