Everyday America

People eating their daily fill
Mothers popping their daily pill

Fathers drinking their daily beer
Hunters shooting their daily deer

Rain pouring on the city
Parents looking for each other’s pity

Children playing very gaily
Tourists visiting the town of Raleigh

It’s these days that I can’t stand
These days that go by and are oh so bland

When the boredom sets in,
That’s when my head spins

The days when nothing seems to flow
The days when everyone just wants a show

People are just never satisfied
Until they are undyingly gratified
