America The Hate

america the great...

Is it really first rate?

Are we really united as states?

if all we share is hate-

What makes us so great?

 

we have the largest economy

Does that justify our hypocrisy?

we say we want peace -honestly-

but we still send our men overseas

spreading animosity.

 

in this country

you have to welcome debt-

If you want to get a Degree.

theoretically

college would be free

children would grow up to see

they really can be Anything they want to be.

 

Instead we conform to the ideas of our leaders

we oppress our thinkers and achievers.

the message we send:

you're only important if you have you're own line of sneakers.

What about the men who use the beakers?

the truth seekers are weaker

the smarter you are apparently the meeker.

 

we really aren’t all that-

everything is beside the fact

The lesson is

If you try to stand out you’ll get smacked.

 

we need change thats for certain

but first we need the truth Remove the Curtain
