Declaration of Independent Thought


this is the Declaration of My Independent Thought Process
an open mind to heal the blind who can't see the mess
a paranoid ignorance of our nation's constitution 
causing idiots in utah to threaten a revolution
these rednecks think separation is a solution
maybe their brain cells have died from the air pollution
there isn't any separation of church in this state
just a bunch of republican hypocrites filled with hate
press rewind because utah is a decade behind time
immediately when you cross over the state line 
you'll need your GPS because sanity's so hard to find
I'm one of the few (regretfully here) with an open mind 
to say these people wear blinders is way, way, too kind
how can I begin discourse for a rational debate
with people who only have sex in order to procreate
I recall many years when the teen pregnancy rate 
was so many miles higher than any other state
the Civil Rights Movement helped initiate
black men to hold "priesthood" as Latter Day Saints
the ACLU sued the church for their beliefs about race
that was a triumph to show the fact utah is a racist state
rednecks with "rebel flags" the mormons don't hesitate
to rationalize our state's paranoia as it relates
to better gun control laws if they ever get applied
the police officers in utah believe Obama's sending the FBI
closet racists in a state where conservatives lead the blind
ignorant of federal law superseding the state's or how it's applied
delusional, irrational, motives pervert their narrow minds
wasting time to pass a bill the governor claims he'll never sign
enter the land that abhors facts and liberals supporting equal rights
impossible to level the playing field in a game white men designed
watch the intellectual decline in a state that's lost its mind
Brigham Young said, "This is the place," the place that's so unkind
I could go on forever trying to show the truth to the blind
I'd rather figure out a way to leave this punitive state behind
in search for prosperity, equality and other open minds
