The State of Us

Are we making America great? Or are we simply spreading hate? Let’s get one thing straight We cannot prosper in this state The people are the victims here As the greatnesses you speak of disappear You claim this and claim that But your claims are falling flat Truth is something you dance around Your honesty cannot be found This nation is not about you Seriously, this is true Are we making America great? Or are we simply spreading hate? Let’s get one thing straight We cannot prosper in this state Stop focusing on who calls you out And fix something that’s worth talking about If you continue to whine and pout More of your people will continue to walk out The deep divide has grown You’re to blame; so get off your damn phone! Tensions are so bad everywhere And you don’t really seem to care Are we making America great? Or are we simply spreading hate? Let’s get one thing straight We cannot prosper in this state Arrogance is not a likable trait We need a leader who knows how to navigate Listen to the people around you Be open to another point-of-view Get off your high horse And steer the country on the right course You have the power to do so If you can’t, then you gotta go You’re not making America great You’re filling the world with hate Do something before it’s too late! Because we cannot prosper in this state
