Healthy Disregard(lyric video)

Here's a new version of a song of mine from a few years ago. Here are the lyrics:

If you, my friend, are worried
in the same way that I am
From seein' Captain Ahab
Where once stood Uncle Sam
on meaningless vendettas
waged on made-up enemies
and includin' our neighbors in with these

I think a healthy disregard is well-advised
when grown-ups abdecate and children supervise
and brush our freedoms with the brush suspicion tarred
I hope I see some healthy disregard

Oh, don't you wonder why
we're led to think authority's
invested in some scary "them"
and not the common "we"?
and you who hold a shield
ain't it time you looked inside
and see the face your helmets hide?

You might think a healthy disregard is well-advised
can't we be countrymen instead of warring sides?
who treat our neighborhoods like Folsom Prison yard
I hope I see some healthy disregard

So, when they mention things
that if we see, we'd better say
so folks who make us nervous
can be neatly dragged away
remember what our Grandma's
generation would've thought
and all the injustices they fought

They had a healthy disregard for stupid rules
and not much indulgence for legalistic fools
so when some punk decides to play some fascist card
I hope I see some healthy disregard

Yeah, I hope I see some healthy disregard!
