The Un U nited S tates
The Un U nited S tates
When Young I was told our Country was Great
Why?-Because we were 50 UNITED STATES!
But are we really UNITED Today?
How in the Hell did we get this way?
States are either Blue or they're Red
Each one seems to want the other one dead
And again we've gotten ourselves into a Killing War
I fear what tomorrow has in store
The "Re-Borns" think only they are the vision-the sight
To know what "Their" God thinks is Right
Big Oil does not seem to care
That they've ruined the Rivers and Polluted the air
Christians are worried about Gays getting to Wed
While Straights sleep around in Loveless Beds
The West doesn't trust those who live in the East
And everyone trust those in D.C. the least
Political T. V. Ads are quick to tell us whose wrong
But who is right and how is a never sung song
Blacks think Whites as evil as can be
While Hispanics wonder-"Hey!-What about me?"
No one thrust Arab-Americans since 9-1-1
I wonder when will all this hatred and dis-thrust be done?
There's something I hate-but I must say
I think "GW" and Karl Rove want it this way
"To Divide and Conquer" has been here for a long time
But to Govern that way is an unforgivable crime
When Young I thought differences where great and unique
It provided wisdom and adventure I did seek
Now if your not just like me then you can not be right
Sadly, I think the UNITED STATES is forever out of sight!!!
