i am covered by an ocean,
I am a man at the bottom of a placid sea
I see sun as sparkle, nothing there for me
the world cackles itself to death,
America bathes in ruins
too many of our people reacted without thought
in killing others our Campbell’s soup got cold
we lay near lifeless, collective heart withering
but we won’t stop till the last loud voice is heard
all loose ends tied neatly for this project
we shout loudly against kindness in the street
when one asks we tell them that Jesus sent us and they go away
the next day the corporate heads look serious on t.v.
another victory furthering the demise of the United States
oh, they say, you’re on that team while we’re on this
yet call themselves citizens of the United States of America
the laughing fat men behind curtains chomping cigars,
hats suddenly in hand, oh good citizens listen to what the stars tell you (cue the stars)
more of the machine demands more of the man
and we will give and give until we are sour with our selfishness
but others won’t give and will walk, leave our country for its having left us
for those who control know that you can kill a country by removing its kindness
but they will not care, for America was never their country to begin with
and the Jesus starers who didn’t know that they were being duped
will continue to stare and wait for the devil to rise higher and higher, such beauty!
and the devil will smile and trod gracefully back over to the huddled masses,
fangs bared, blood red lips that we will kiss over and over and over again
