RIGHT
OR WRONG
It’s
not important in this land what is right or wrong;
Moral
or corrupt, it’s how we sing the song.
The
issues most before us, of drugs and prostitutes,
Porno
films, and gambling are really substitutes –
For
those who’ve got the power, for those who’ve got the cash,
For
those who make the loudest noise, or throw the biggest bash.
If
we really want the answer, I’ll give it to you straight –
Legalize
the lot of them and make a debt-free state.
Right
or wrong, we have to change it;
Right
or wrong, won’t stop the use.
Let’s
legalize and tax them, and stop all this abuse.
Gone
would be inflation; we’d be dressed in black,
To
celebrate a balance sheet that stayed upon the track.
The
jobless and the homeless would have a place again,
And
the economic standard would allow us all to win.
Leave
these issues to the church to preach upon the land;
They’ve
always been an issue; it’s where they first began.
They
fall among the many sins that are preached about;
Yet,
most of sin is legal, for that there is no doubt.
Right
or wrong, there is no answer;
Right
or wrong, there is no say.
Too
many get a freebie from the government today.
This
country is a business, the biggest one around;
Yes,
money is the route, for living on this ground.
We
know that what is Ceasar’s should never leave his hand;
Yet,
we keep giving it away to satisfy some stand.
Replace
the pain and suffering caused by such display,
As
prisons do attest, with laws which clear the way
To
educate the nation on brotherhood and love;
Don’t
bite the hand that feeds your tight-minded glove.
“Right
or wrong” is not the issue,
Right
or wrong, it’s all the same.
Let’s
grow up and stop the pain, let’s put a stop to shame.
