The Wheels Are Coming Off Of America

The Wheels Are Coming Off Of America
.

Fast food nation

another form of malnutrition

Ready to eat 24/7 cable news

digestible pablum

for the masses

The Kokomo Hum

Of the fossil-fueled factories

Creating the high-tech toys

So we can conduct business

At the beach

Mass extinction

Of civil liberties vanishing

Quicker now

Than flora and fauna

In this global warming

Not my America

Former land of the free

Home of the brave

Not too long from now

A National ID?

Not why I served

A nation at war

To come home

Unwelcomed, alone

Eyes wide from lies

Hang on dear friends

Hang on for your life

The wheels are coming off

Of America, my friends

And Bush is D.U.I.
