The American Drive-Thru Life

we have a fairly unique society we're masters of energy conservation and I don't mean of oil or electricity... I mean bodily efforts, we waste no more than we absolutely have to, and that's no folklore... we drive thru every aspect of life, to get a burger, or wed a wife... if a car ahead is moving too slow, with our horns we let them know they're slowin' down the American dream, at a pace that makes us scream... "come'on, G_d D_mn it, move that piece of Sh_t!!" it's a pay and pick-up world, the fast track American lifestyle, I doubt other societies would understand it, unless they lived here for a while our cell phones are ever at our ears our money is now but plastic, we still have a bunch of scary fears, but it's such a stretch, it seems elastic, we worry about how long it takes to live our life our way if you can cut it down real quick, you'd keep waiting time at bay.. right, or wrong, I do not judge cause I'm so busy here at the Carvel drive-thru window, impatiently waitin' for my fudge!
