"Poem for a New American Century"
GO FOURTH
Land isn't free, but it sure is divisible
But the hand of the Market is visible
O say can you say if you see something you ought
Not so brave when it comes to the rent
Who can save up what's already spent
O say can you see why this was all you were taught
Truth is spoken to Power that fears it
It gets louder when nobody hears it
Over not being heard soon enough Power gets fought
No one knows it but everyone hides it
No one can tell you why nobody tries it
(But everyone wonders why no one gets caught)
Since you can bet that they'll never be telling
Never mind finding out just what they're selling
Better ask what it was that you bought
-by a female Faust, an American citizen
