The forefathers of a nation, the first to find a better way
they paid the cost til they were spent and we're reminded every day
In our minds, forever great but at times, we're led astray
and conveniently forget how many tribes were dead and slain
Now..What type of men were they? Did they put lives ahead of gain
Even though they swore they only lived for Christ and Heaven's Sake
Just disguised, pathetic fakes, left their wake and half a race was gone
it was all about the paper they would later have their faces on
Of course, these men were bold...lies? scores of them were sold
to make them legends, always integral...immortals in the fold
But in the stories that were told it was forgotten to mention
where these misguided souls claim they got their direction
whoever taught them their lessons left an honest impression
cuz even God in the heavens always wants a percentage
One nation under him? Well, at least, that's what most believe
fill his plate while they go hungry, wow, the blessed are so deceived
We all gettin no reprieve, I wish I'd met who sowed the seed
because the root of all evil dont seem to ever grow on trees
The walking dead, or so it seems it can make us into slaves, its true
keepin focus, seeming hopeless when the sane amongst the crazed are few
Just sayin, theyre just sayings but we can take it from cliches for proof
it aint a big secret...you can't take it to your grave with you
