Liberty Bell 

I crackcd the liberty bell with a sledge hammer
because it wasn't chiming 
The bell doesn't toll for everyone I screamed 
As I paid penance to cross the state border 
of picket lines with pickct signs saying. 
Yield and Keep off the Grass 
But as I take another toke off this mad stash
I get Rocky Mountain high
Start seeing genetically modified 
amber waves of grain 
Or was that amber waves of pain 
Maybe spacious skies of rain 
Troddin' hard on the downtrodden
Falling heavy on the unfortunate 
'Cause fortune ain't fickle 
Its victims don't vary 
It'll bury the money-less in bottomless blues 
While the rich folk shine in spit-shine shoes 
Making your way in the world today 
takes everything you've got
But creating a system that doesn't feed on poverty 
sure would help a lot 
We have to destroy this plot
that's destroying community 
And begin a reign of classless unity 
It's soon to be and take it from me 
Until that happens, nobody is free
