Pernicious governments

All governments are pernicious

Though they act like they protecting you,

Protecting you from who though?

This is my question to you,

Most of our enemies are caused by the things our government do,

Then they take away our privacy and our liberty too

And they do this in the name of keeping you and me safe,

But the only reason we’re at risk

Is because of invading or interfering,

In the affairs of another sovereign state,

Or to generate more wars that fund the arms race,

For there’s more money in war and death

Then there is in harmony and peace,

And while they do the things they do

We’ll never achieve the unity and peace that we seek.
