The Lies They Told You About Bonnie and Clyde

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Look at us now Examples of what will happen If you dare to question the hand the steals your food Then hands it back mangled and diminished Look at us now We're the individials lost for society's well-being We were the ones forced into the ground Then shoot for trying to get up and walk Take a look at us now We're Bonnie and Clyde We broke the laws made by nobody wiser than us We lived but sooner we died Look at us now We're deemed heartless We only killed so we could survive But that's not how they told our story Look at us now Every cop in America is on our trail We've been chased while people were starving But stopping our ways gets prioridy Take a look at us now We're Bonnie and Clyde We wanted to suceed in a broken time And now we've been broken too Look at us now We were so much in love But that story never made headlines Nobody really cared they just wanted to drown us Look at us now We're examples of bad gone worse Stay away from the likes of us Warn your children of the devils we are Take a look at us now We're Bonnie and Clyde The law fought us and so we fought the law And that turned us to fugitives Look at us now We were killed so society didn't have to suffer Since it was in such great shape that year The world really doesn't need us Look at us now Open up your sunday paper There we are on the front page headline All this stemmed from a forbidden love Take a look at us now We're Bonnie and Clyde While tax money went towards hunting us down Babies died of simple colds I guess you could say We really were Romeo and Juliet in a getaway car Written March 2nd, 2002 © on Mar 01 2002 04:15 PM PST   10 • 0
