American Idle
The lazy consciences
of the long yawn, credulity class
work so hard
to be an American Idle
“Care less” is their toga motto
You gotta have Roman candle aspiration
Pleb effigy be the
burning goal of a finger-twiddling nation
Fiddle sticks
always ignite quicker
than straw bricks
Nero fire staff tempo
got slow bellies
working at a double task pace
Labor stall is blaze simple:
Memphis chug shuffle seen on the telly —
American Idle has a Caligua face
Those Cheshire fat cats
got the right “grip-and-grin” attitude
to sell to the drone tools
Laz-y Boyz in the Capitol
do sedentary show
the best work ethic to use
Armchair elbow grease
is the patent preferred lube
Throwing veranda shade
from a stucco palisade
is very American Idle cool
Air-conditioned bottoms
be so fast track,
mall moving on the wage upscale
Inside cushy chariots,
whose top-end value
gives good early retirement resale
Their computer thoughts burn
DVD frack friendly
Financial motivational skills
are what legions of regulated citizens
in the middle lane need
They torch believe that Coin freedom
is the purest flame of liberty
Fiddle sticks
always ignite quicker
than straw bricks
A Nero gangsta lean
is the ideal, publican pal sweat stifle
Casino friends hold loaded dice
Incognito lobbyist elevator rise
is the kickback way
to become a certified American Idle
A Pharaoh slow roll
is the Caesar Palace speed to go:
Cash convertible cruise holiday
Day-o echoes
are so
banana in the tailpipe far away
