Prayer For America

America... After 9/11, the country seemed reborn Ready to shift from the shallow to the profound What ever happened to the America that could have been? What ever happened to the America we deserve? Step into my church And pray For a nation growing dumber Every day What ever happened to the heroes That should have been? (I want to know) Whatever happened to the stars That should have shone? (I want to know) After the towers came a-tumbling down. Don't care what you bought at the store Got no interest in who you score Give me stories of men and women Who make the wheels turn Do things I need to learn Could care less about your marble floors Show the Rolls to your greedy whores Give me hearts of men and women Who save peoples' lives Do things we need to prize What ever happened to America? People across America Unite Times are urgent, we need to fight The country's infrastructure is in a plight Get the word to the people about whassup Get the word that enough is enough Roads are in ruin Schools facing doom Hospitals getting harder to find Firestations closing down all the time Honest policemen fading away Caring nurses walking away Shout the word all across the hood Let's praise the people doing good What ever happened to America? Wasting too many hours discussing Pam Anderson's rack Wasting too much time wondering if Michael's still black TV's filled with junk and stupidities Our seed's learning wrong priorities We need more nurses and more burn wards Fewer actors collecting dumb awards Basketball players earning more than enough pay Our fighting soldiers deserve one big raise Let's put more money back into the roads Less money going into BS reality shows Teachers and nurses, firemen and police Ambulance drivers, keepers of the peace Shout the word all across the hood Let's praise the people doing good What ever happened to the stars That should have shone After the towers came a-tumbling down? You don't know As you watch the Media talk You're strangled beneath Their glamorous fog I take this time To remind you Of the rampant course A Man unleashed upon the world With vindictive force You took the time to estrange The body and brain Illuminati reigns While some hottie's bling blocks The Tellie's current affairs Gotta change Applaud arrange With vision upon visions While visions incisions Gone missing for days As this daze stays Our school system strays Heroes paid minimum wage As stars achieve critical claim For individual aims This country's spirit takes A visible wane What ever happened to America?
