This is Amerika:
A cowboy nation
of imaginary superheroes
Craving security
Drowning in denial
Thriving on bloodshed

This is Amerika:
Malnourished populace
Gorging on a smorgasbord of fear
Nurturing a culture of violence
Giving to those who have
Taking from those who need

This is Amerika:
Playactors pretending
Guns will keep us free
Ears stopped shut
Hearing only the echo chamber within
Placing dogma before Truth

This is Amerika:
Where the death lobby is a sacred cow
Capitalism is the ultimate good
For God’s chosen people
Profit uber alles

This is Amerika:
Where we treasure our weapons
More than the lives of our children

This is Amerika:
Where we are afraid to choose
Lest we offend

This is Amerika:
Where hate is free speech
And tools of murder revered

This is Amerika:
Land of ignorant sheep.
