My opinion of America...

How do you stand for something
When you don't know how to stand?
That's our problem, America
If ya feel me, raise your hand
Or just ignore it again
Like you always do
When you don't want to
Hear the dirty truth
That's right in front of your face
I don't want to waste
Your precious little time
Fuck, I can barely rhyme
I could just hold a sign
But you won't look.

You see
When your down on your knees
Staring at the trees
and the birds and bees
you still don't see
The fundamental problems with you
You fight the truth
That's in front of you
With your skewed views
and biased news
Spewed
from a pretty mouth
With pretty words
Lies, ya heard?
Doctored so your
pretty world
Won't turn ugly

You can't handle the truth
You can't stomach the truth
You don't want the truth
You want the delusion
the gorgeous illusion
That keeps your balance in check
You want the lies
the pretty lies
the rose colored glasses
that you and the masses
put on to keep your balance in check
No, you won't let
anything fuck with your
equilibrium
Cause when the world
goes topsy turvy
And it all gets a bit too scurry
You take comfort
in discomfort
You're content
with discontent
As long as it's not in your back yard

Because that's when it gets hard to ignore
I can scream til my throat gets sore
And you'll never listen
It's none of my business
It's just a given
That you're oh so driven
To complete the mission

America, the beautiful
America, the brave
America, land of the free
Honey, nothing in life is free
Least of all you
So what do you do?
Take solace in your oxymorons?
When you're all just oxymorons?
Or maybe just morons
America is beautiful
in our stupidity
Cause lucidity
took a back seat
to ignorance
a long time ago


Yes, America. You're ignorant.
Come to grips with it
Cause you're not gonna change it
Cause you won't change it
Maybe exchange it for a new lie
and smile up at the sky
and pat yourself on the back
for being a goddamn wonderful
American
The perfect fucking specimen
and example of human being
That everyone should try to be
