There's a keep-out sign on public land
There's a keep-out sign on public land
There's a keep-out sign on public land
And they say it's to protect it

There's cameras on every street corner
There's cameras on every street corner
There's cameras on every street corner
And they say it's to protect us

Private propertys being seized today
Private propertys being seized today
Private propertys being seized today
And they say it's to protect us

They'll put v-chips under our skin
They'll put v-chips under our skin
They'll put v-chips under our skin
And they say it's to protect us

There's barb wire 'round the Liberty Bell
There's barb wire 'round the Liberty Bell
There's barb wire 'round the Liberty Bell
And they say it's to protect it...

Love the way you used repetition in this very 'decisive' write - outstandingly clever ... forget the "V-chips," I'll stick with the potato kind!

Blessings my friend,

Robert
