Such confidence They have In this American system In this American dollar As long as their lives Are not directly affected Everything is as it always is Isn't it? Oh America, great America So sound and secure Drowning in 18 trillion in debt America will never fail They seem unaware Of the troubling times They live in Just turn the ball game on Everything is normal They seem oblivious One day They'll see But it will only be The very minute Of the collapse Why don't they see The danger? Tuned in to the presidential primaries They love politics At this point It does not matter Who is president America has fallen A sense that a troubling And trying time is coming For this nation

Clueless People
Such confidence They have In this American system In this American dollar As long as their lives Are not directly affected Everything is as it always is Isn't it? Oh America, great America So sound and secure Drowning in 18 trillion in debt America will never fail They seem unaware Of the troubling times They live in Just turn the ball game on Everything is normal They seem oblivious One day They'll see But it will only be The very minute Of the collapse Why don't they see The danger? Tuned in to the presidential primaries They love politics At this point It does not matter Who is president America has fallen A sense that a troubling And trying time is coming For this nation
