In God We Trust

It used to be in God we trust

But we don’t anymore

First, we lost religion in schools

Now there’s no bible in court

Please watch what you say

You have to be politically correct

We have lost all common courtesy

And show no more elder's respect

America has let it all fade away

And all the essential details

Now a days you can be born a man

But identify as a female

What is this world coming to

What has America become

It used to be the greatest country in the world

And now it is far from number one

The world is no longer a safe place

It's just a preview of hell

There’s no such thing as rehabilitation

Just a matt inside a cell

What is rehabilitation

Is it just something that’s made up

We condemn a man for the wrongs

Letting the mistakes be the judge

What gives anyone the right to judge

What don’t people understand

We can accept gender identity

But by the mistakes we judge a man

Criticize people for their mistakes

And condemn them for a period of time

Punishing us and call it rehabilitation

Making freedom difficult to find

Making one suffer individually

While life is hard enough to win

Nobody is better than anybody

Just like I’m no better than him
