Victimized

Our anthem's changed

From A Hero Lies In You

To a victim does

And we're all victims of something

But victimization won't lift us

 

Funny how it's airwave sponsored

By those lifting money

Bags from our pockets

Up onto their piles

As falling sandbags pin us 

 

Down and, 

From a flood of unity, 

Separate our neighborhoods,

Our villages,

Our cities and towns

 

Funny how embracing  

Being victimized gets us

Further victimized

How the richer get richer

When we no longer seek to be the hero
