THE GAME IS FIXED <\/p>\n

You work so hard and you work all day,
\nYou sweat your brow just to get your pay.
\nEven still you never seem to get ahead,
\nSlaving away until the day you’re dead.<\/p>\n

It’s a crappy world where rich men rule,
\nOutside of their club you’re just a tool.
\nThe game is fixed they break our backs,
\nWe’re not really free there’s another tax.<\/p>\n

There is an answer but not of this Earth,
\nThe Lord loves us and He sees our worth.
\nOnly in His Kingdom are we truly free,
\nJesus Christ himself paid for our liberty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
