Independence Day,
Celebration of freedom,
It’s slipping away
With America’s blessing.
Let’s keep our heads in the sand.
We’ve handed it off
To corporations and shills
With a boldface smile.
We have no one else to blame
But the face in the mirror.

Government in bed
With corporate America
Fascism reborn
Mussolini may be dead
But his beliefs are alive

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Problem…solution
Our history makes it clear
The Boston Tea Party
The same kind of oppression
A few hundred years later
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Country on the brink
Middle-class being trampled
Extinction awaits
Corporate greed at a high
Climbing the backs of workers
Shareholders don’t care
Its all about their returns
Screw blood, sweat, and tears
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The mirror never lies
Or so you believe.
Unequal to those on celluloid
Causing you to grieve.
Airbrushed and painted on
None of it is real.
Remove a layer, then you’ll see
What was hidden now revealed.
Ads they target girls so young
Ruining self-esteem.
All to lure those most naive
Into their their dirty scheme.
Makeup, jeans, the latest heels
Superficial to say the least.
None of this makes the girl
Instead a material beast.
Capitalist Devils take our young
And throw them in the fire.
Taking innocence and melting it down
On their greed kindled pyre.
