The Happiest Place on Earth
I wanna pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't wanna be ashamed to be American
But opportunity, no, it don't exist
It's the opium of the populace
We need some harder shit now
The truth's getting 'round
And each public school is a halfway house
Where huddled masses sober up and up
Enough?
There's not enough to fatten the cows
And feed all of us
It's just a rationing of luck
What can't be bought gets raffled off
Oh God, good God, shed greed on thee
Your shining sea turned a
Dirty green from the industry
Off the shores of New Jersey
I got a letter from the army
So, I think that I'll enlist
No, I'm not brave or proud of nothing
I just want to kill something
Too bad that nowadays
You just point and click
Swing lo satellite
Hot white chariot
In the computers blue glare
Bombs burst in the air
There was a city once
Now nothing's there
Our freedom comes at their expense
It makes sense, does it? Dollars and cents
They're stretching barbed wire
Across the picket fence
That's surrounding your housing development
In case you lack the confidence
Oh God, my God, give strength to thee
These amber waves, purple majesty
Is nothing but backdrops for Disney
Look up close
It's superimposed on a blank blue screen
Ya, it's fantasy, fucking magical
The dream floats like a chemical
Through each snapped synapse television past
That is beautiful no more, no more, no more
