The American Standard

Welcome to the American Standard:
A lifestyle of few rules
Where people are careless
and led by great fools

Welcome to tomorrow
There is no today
Their faces are vacant
Their countenance grey

This is one nation
a harvesting station
Corruption and destitution
overwhelming pollution

Raw and unkempt
The rich are exempt
Clawing at throats
Shrill harrowing notes

Pointless violence
Needless crime
Loathsome behaviour
Time after time

strychnine in veins
nitrox in blood
Dead hearts beating
faces burried in mud

An undying nation
Where god supposedly looks from above
Yet there is no compassion
There is no love

Patriotism distorted
virtues contorted
shock news reported
babies aborted

No man brave or free
Trapped in a prison of self-created misery
The innocent are lonely 
and as sad as can be
