America

I am back in the fold
Of all you cursed Americans
Driving around the states
On the wrong side of the road
Buying drugs on street corners
Selling them on the playgrounds

It didn't take long
To find my role
I login to chat rooms
Just to rant, rave, and piss people off
I cruise the malls on weekends
Window shop all the things I can't afford
Then I pay $8.00 to see a sorry ass movie

No, it didn't take long to get re-Americanized
To catch 100 shows a week on cable television
I have pizza delivered for dinner
Because I can and it seems convenient
I buy Nikes monthly
I can't be seen with month old shoes
My shirt doesn't get worn more than ten times
One shirt can only impress so many people
My car costs a years salary, twice that to pimp it out

Damn, it sure is nice to be back

To be american is to suffer from at least some form of brainwashing. Its trite and people wonder why america isn't that well liked.

Hmm...I believe it is called the US of greasy food. At least that's what I call it. But this is, embarassing enough, completely true. This is what we live in. A world with enough money to feed the entire world.

And yet we can't even feed ourselves. With enough clothes to clothe the whole world...but never good enough for us. More junk than you can ask for, and we're always bying more. So sad but true.

lol driving on the wrong side of the road. you know, it's funny, America; we were established on immigrants, who killed the rightful owners of this land, killed a bunch of mexicans to expand, took over a small island...

paid germany (or was it russia?) like 30 million dollars for a billionaire moneymaker's wetdream... God why doesn't anything ever change in this world? two hundred years later, it's the same old song and dance....

we as Americans take every single thing in life for granted; it's sickening.

And that is just at the ground level. Nice job warms my little heart but "at least I know I'm free", though soon the entire earth will just be one big strip mall! and billboards will stack up higher than sky scrapers! And, well that will be just Capital..
