Still he taught them: Thou shalt not k** or steal or lie Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's land Thou shalt not know other gods before Me Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain Hypocrisy became his way of living Taking what he wanted, with no though of giving He placed himself above his mighty steeple Naming himself as savior for all people Progress became his greatest enemy This plentiful land was raped from sea to sea Our children to come must reap the spoils of lust Of the people with the motto: "In God we Trust".....
