Luke Daniel - Hey Gaslighter

Hey gaslighter
Be careful what you say round here
You know you better bite your tongue when you think that we've been acting queer
Hey gaslighter
I heard that you've been telling lies
You think that it's a funny joke when our safety's being compromised
Hey gaslighter
You say we oughta act our age
But you're the one who's garnered no respect with all the kids you've caged
Hey gaslighter
You turning back our refugees
But then you're gonna act surprised when we're burning down your effigies
Hey gaslighter
We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal
That they are endowed by their creator
With certain unalienable rights
Hey gaslighter
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends
It is the right of the people
To alter or abolish it
And to institute new government
Hey gaslighter
Don't you dare tell us to just calm down
I'm never gonna turn my back on the way you twist our words around
Hey gaslighter
You've been stealing from the common man
You've been limiting the rights of those who vote against your corporate plans
Hey gaslighter
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations
Evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism
It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected
Whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise
Hey gaslighter
Don't you know we've seen your kind before
You manipulate the angry and the suffering to fight your wars
Hey gaslighter
Now the time has come to take a stand
Now it's time to give the power to the people of this tarnished land
Hey gaslighter
Hey gaslighter
