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
