Serenity Instead of Chaos

America is under attack We might lose our right to bear arms Socialism is hovering on our backs And the government now owns our cars Our healthcare might be nationalized Just like Canada But what people don’t realize This isn’t the answer for America Too much talk about stimulus Our banks are in trouble Spending by our government Is making us see double Our founding fathers would be so ashamed If they knew how things turned out There are too many people we could blame Things need to “change” without a doubt Americans need to speak up About things that they don’t like This country needs to shape up We all just need to unite Serenity instead of chaos Is what America needs So many think this country owes us But all we are owed is the pursuit of happiness, life and liberty.

Exactly! Oh my gosh, it's about time someone came out and said it. I've always thought: "Our founding fathers...they'd be so ashamed." Thank you.
