Of Some Mad American Empire I
Of some mad American empire
were Angels rage in the suicidal age
Of TV stars and failed billionaires
Upstart demagogues tyrannical
Wanta-bes who rule with lies on knees of glass
And feet of tin, and rings of fools-gold
tiny fists bleed tiny tears Infamy
Schemes with in schemes
Orange rage racism raw ragged
and blasphemy of science
idolize idiocracy
A mad American empire teetering on oblivion
In TVs and multimedia social society
Of Markets and networking divisions
Evangelist blind screaming for an idol falsely
Bluebirds flutter flocks like ravens
A murder of crows Die in the lite of truth
The truth is a matter of opinion obsession
False diversions a fractured nation
A false god a false profit beloved by narrow-minded illiterate ill-rational idiots
Idolize inept and ignorant orange
God, a false divinity
Raging lies in tin crowns
an overgrown tyrant
a little king without armor
a fool With bloody hands
smeared mascara eyeliner drowned
Blood and horror a mad American empire
were Angels rage suicidal age
Of faded TV stars gluttonous billionaires
Upstart demagogues
tyrannical nights of thousand lights
Mega-phone preacher of a new order
Make America some mad empire
Wanta-bes who rule
with lies and tyrannical deeds
knees of glass bleed oil orange fire
feet of glass things of fools-gold
Tiny fists clutch paper crowns
tiny tears Infamy a crocodiles lear
Schemes within and schemes without
rape of queens, dreamers teetering on oblivion
orange racism ragged raw
wall falls halls echo lies and false fantasies
blasphemy of science, idiocracy , supremacy
Drooling fools, magaits burrow in
Some mad American empire...
