Lamenting the fall of our Republic and the reasons why it’s going to fall apart in the future if problems are not resolved

lyrics

Our Republic, Has survived, for over 200 Years
Success based on checks and balances, power restrained
Rule of law, applies to all, this we do believe

What has changed, does this still apply, are we losing ground.
Checks ignored, laws flaunted, money gets you off.
The powerful, know it's broken, work to take advantage.
Too big to fail, no defense, we're sheep to the slaughter

Greed
Excess
Corruption

Pack the courts with political hacks, jurors prudence not involved.
Appoint heads of agencies that don’t care at all.
Ignore science, established rules, laws do not apply.
All that matters in personal gain, enrichment of what is mine

Impeachments out, no scandals matter, no issues cross the line.
Treason is, no reason to alter, the balance that divides.
Where’s the line, no one is sure, where is too far.
This will be, the end of all , our fall is enshrined

Greed
Excess
Corruption

Been a fan since the 2019-MMep inception. This band simply does it right. Full throttle Thrash in the vein of Sacred Reich , Whiplash/AtWar speeds. HC infused at times. NEPA thrash is on the map to stay. dale jacobson
