C-O-N-spiracy

I'm tired of theories
About conspiracy theories
Twisted truths
Turned lies
That lie on the tongues of those
Willing to spread the word
When they are still unclear of the language

Repetitive regurgitation
Of the secrets of organizations
When your knowledge has no fact or any more basis
Than what you read in a passing blog or
Off the lips of a stranger
Get the facts to back
Your false ideals
Instead of kicking around
The grown up version of he said/she said

But then you gotta throw in the good book
Still unable to separate church and state
Still passing judgment
About being judged
By a jury that could care less
I'm tired of hearing about the man
'Cause we haven't seen him in ages
And I must apologize before I say this
But if life's such a bitch
You should be looking for a she
Not a he
To blame for your ass backward
twisted 'can't believe it's not true' theories

And if the system is so flawed
Follow Gandhi’s lead
And be the change you wish to see
Stop flapping gums
and do something
Don't tell me how the system is too big to fight
when I bet you don't even do so much as pray at night

You manifest what you talk about
And you talk about how nothings right
But you live the same cycle from day to day
And at the end of it all wonder how it got this way

8 years of BS
And how soon we forget
His replacement is far from heaven sent
Not understanding why you claim your independence
But let others run your life
He said 'We are the change we have been waiting for'
Yet you're still waiting on opportunity and change
To come a'knockin at your front door

I'm almost amused by these false prophets
Who claim they refused to be led like sheep
To slaughter
But refuse to use their eyes
Being blindfolded by lies

And under all their talking
You can almost hear their collective
Baaahhh

Sheep, pigs, and wolves - oh my!
Endangered bald eagle on standby
Right wing
Left wing
Then those sitting in the middle
Yet we still lack the ability to take flight
To rise above and not lose sight
But I forgot - you all stand collectively alone

Talking too much to help those less fortunate than you
I'm not even talking about monetary donation
'Cause your theories say you're just paying the devil some due
But when was the last time you donated a helping hand
Rolled up your sleeves and fed your fellow man
Or planted a tree to help save mother earth
Or took the time to educate our youth
Actions that speak so much louder that all your spoken 'truth'

Actions activity activism
I'd almost respect you more
if you kicked ass instead of just taking names
So who's really to blame
They make moves
While you're all talk
But you plan to win the battle
Without even taking a walk
Like your grandparents, parents, and even brothers and sisters have
Willing to stand for what they believed was right
You sit on your couch
Idiot box brainwashed
Read blogs from your bed
Becoming obese with false knowledge
Force feeding any ear who's brain’s half dead

But I bet you'll take these words
Tell me how I'm so misled
Try to make it seem like I don't know what I've said

See, I had a soap box I used to stand on and speak facts
But I stepped down
Seems the people just like the drama
And there's plenty of that with you around

I spend my time trying to educate and empower
All those I come across to be a better version of themself
You claim you care about the world
But wrap it in your fabled point of view
At the end of the day your just a dusty broken record
Sitting up on 'the man's' shelf claiming to be brand new
