Farewell, my countrymen freedom was good

Farewell, my countrymen.  Freedom was good.
But so many boozers and their childish games.
So many wars.  So much innocent blood.
The brokers are counting their ill-gotten gains
Farewell, my countrymen.  Freedom was good.

And worse. The desecration of the earth,
who soon will take her cancerous revenge.
Since you measure prosperity by her girth
your only salvation is the pill, the syringe.
Farewell, my countrymen.  Freedom was good.
