Goodbye America
Politicians say they made America Great again
and put us back on top where we belong
Both sides say that they are right
but both sides know that they are wrong
It’s always a one sided conversation
there’s no one up there listening to us
If their lips are moving, then they’re lying
there’s no one left that we can trust
So look deeper into our story my friends
and you will learn the faithful truth
That drugs, death and violence
are still taking away our youth
500 thousand Americans
are still living helpless on the streets
But don’t worry, politicians have the answer
they’ll just send out another vicious tweet
Abortions, pollution, over population and gun control
student debt, civil rights and gender equality
Hell, we’ve been crying about the high cost of living
since way back in 1973
Our parents are forced out of their homes
all hope of their dignity is lost
Because Social Security barely pays the bills
let alone their outrageous healthcare costs
So while the world is falling apart
what is it that our leaders do
Sit around with their heads stuck up their ass
looking for a better way to screw me and you
Because we’re just moving in a circle
and we’re getting nowhere fast
America’s running out of time
and our country cannot last
By the time our children’s children
are called upon to take the floor
They will walk in our footsteps of ignorance
because we will have taught them nothing more
