Dominici - Captured lyrics

rate me

Corrupt politicians, purveyors of law<br />

Give us daily bread, but not a crumb more<br />

Premiers, Presidents and leaders of men<br />

Fleece us like sheep again and again<br />

<br />

All we can do is suffer the grief<br />

And shake our heads in disbelief<br />

A penny here, a dollar there<br />

We're nickel'd and dime'd into despair<br />

<br />

If we should ever come on days<br />

When all would start to change their ways<br />

There'd still be some who would only see<br />

A brand new opportunity<br />

<br />

I'd go along and wag my tail<br />

But still they'd throw me in their jail<br />

I watch the news and wonder why<br />

They never seem to catch that guy<br />

<br />

He knows the game as well as I<br />

And that is why he won't be<br />

Captured<br />

<br />

Now religious leaders speak out<br />

Offensive words cast shadows of doubt<br />

Those who listened but still haven't heard<br />

Live by the sword but they'll die by the word<br />

<br />

I sit in my room of closed windows and doors<br />

And ponder my fate as I stare at the floors<br />

If I never let anyone get close to me<br />

Then maybe I can still remain free<br />

<br />

Not powdered wigs nor robes of silk<br />

Can ever govern me<br />

<br />

Lest I'd be captured<br />

<br />
