I Pledge Allegiance

I pledge allegiance with heartless intent to this flag
of the united states of America
cause the politicians got the cat in the bag
and my wallets overflated numerica

this is a government of the people by the people for the corporation
I solemnly vow to work hard and hold my head down
let hypocrisy run free in our nation
and battle to wear the crown

who really wears the big boy pants
when their all made in china
why does the news agency rave and then rant
when there a dead dinosaur with angina

patriotism is robotic
when war spending is a common goal
we need some antibiotic
so that we all don't get the pole

this one I dedicate to you and I
the bright spark of life that barely cared to try
shooting itself upon the foot while telling you a lie
classified quite top secret so no one may cry
