I Don'T Know About You America But I Feel Like a Whore

I don't know about you America but I feel like a whore when the Bush Administration wants to give me a $300 score how many of our young men and women in Iraq will have to die before they will admit that this war is one big fat lie? how many more will be in foreclosure and become homeless before the government realizes this a problem they need to address? I'm beginning to suspect that 9/11 was a secret government conspiracy so that Bush could justify an invasion in the interest of national security where are the weapons of mass destruction they were so desperate to destroy? It seems like taking the Iraqi oil fields was the only reason troops were deployed I don't know about you America but I feel like a whore while the Bush Administration runs out the White House doors and like a good trick when he's done he leaves money on the table then has the nerve to tell me to spend so the economy may become more stable the corporations have sold us out and with the Chinese we're now in bed more Chinese goods in America even some with paint containing lead we used to be a country that thrived on production now all we do is go to war and cause global destruction the dollar is in the toilet and not worth the paper on which it is made could it be because we're at a deficiency in international trade? the Bush Administration has us again in debt to the tune of trillions yet how is it that Republicans are still raking in the millions? I don't know about you America but I feel like a whore when the biggest John leaves us broken, bitter and sore the Secretary of State believes the propaganda that's she spinning the Joint Chief of Staff insists this war we are winning but all we've done is cause chaos and confusion It seems like America is the problem and not the solution how many more soldiers will return disabled and lame before the Bush Administration assumes any of the blame? they talk in a manner that's most condescending yet fail to remember that it's OUR tax dollars they're freely spending let's not mention those "Hanging Chads" we all knew brother Jeb had the election in the bag we use one country against another to further our objectives and when push comes to shove we drop them when there's nothing left to give after Afghanistan and they way they dealt with bin Laden why are they surprised that towards us his heart is now harden? I don't know about you America but I feel like I've been betrayed at least in the Clinton Administration only Monica got played this poem took me 10 angry minutes to write
