The States, United On Granite

The United States is now a business Though it was originally sound And is led by those who have no business To run it right into the ground One crime syndicate after another Backed by the worse money that money can buy Have borrowed to the edge of infinity If there is angst, now we know why But we are not their toxic concoction And they don’t yet own the whole planet We’re American strong and will be as long as We remain the states, united on granite Since they own the old school media Their deceitful news comes out as they plan it Yet the truth will find a way as long as We remain the states, united on granite

Though granite has its limits: One of Darmouth College's (Hanover, NH) 'fight songs' ends with these moronic lines: "...And the granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains." (You can't make this stuff up).

Lots of Hooligans and morons have their hands controlling the cash with foreign friends who actually are “foreign fiends.” Don’t know how Americans can learn the truth..as only two channels have the backbone to do so! The USA has been sold to the highest bidder, aka China! Dave, readGordon P Chang, if you have time.choose…..wWIII will be on American soil. Americans are asleep at the wheel of propaganda.174 trillion in debt? Awful. PR
