America The Beautiful

America The Beautiful

America

The land we claim to be free

But are required to pay taxes just to live

Definate things in life: Death, and Taxes

The land we claim to love

Yet we rip her to shreds

 

America, the beautiful

Yet we focus so much on image

SUPERSIZE THIS, supersize that,

A nation of obesity

Can never be free

 

O beautiful for spacious skies

That we continue to pollute with our toxic emissions

Let the acin rain fall

We launch metal birds in to the air

To be swallowed and in turn to tear through the skies

 

For amber waves of grain

Waves that we douse in fertalizers

From sea to polluted Sea!

That help produce our cancers

FAST! NOW! IMMEDIATELY!

 

America! America!

The American way

Now, now, now. Not later

For a country that is so great

We ignore the value of patience

 

And crown thy good with brotherhood

As brothers are killing brothers and mothers

What happened to love thy neighbor

Thou shall not kill

We have lost our values

 

America! America!

America the great,

No More.
