Hail to the Thief - Vindicator

When i was a boy, i pledged

My allegiance to the flag

It’s image that of righteousness

Since faded into life less rag

A mirror of what we’ve become

A portrait of the deaf and dumb

But maybe being blind is being free

Some one’s stealing all our unity

With idle hands they sow the seeds

Growing only false democracy

Who can we thank for all our grief

Hail to the thief

It’s hard to see through all this honesty

Tattered by the weather

Torn from violent storm

Our pride of who we are

Has been washed

And beaten into form

What have we become

Funny looking caricatures

Our belief in who we are

Confiscated for their purse

Something’s draining our identity

Like being weakened by a curse

Politicians feed hypocrisy

Who can we thank for all our grief

Hail to the thief

It’s hard to see through all this honesty

Hail to the thief

Idiocy beyond belief

Hail to the thief

We’re being sold short for dishonesty

Hail to the thief
