Troubling Times
And everything was hunky dory
And everyone was feeling A-okay
America is so prosperous
And wealthy
In the good old U.S.A.
And nothing difficult
Or trying
Could ever happen here
America is invincible
They think
But I find it all so queer
So strange
America teeters
On the brink
And our corrupt government
Does really stink
Just one event
And America this ship
Will sink
Now there is chaos everywhere
And if you drive a C class
Well no one really cares
John the plummer is hungry
And so is family too
It's a martial law lock down
Now everyone is *******
When the systems that
Hold our society in place
Are completely overstressed
This society will turn
Into one great big mess
America no longer a sovereign nation
It's debts it cannot pay
Then they'll bring in the New World Order
To rule the day
Massive military vehicles
Roaming the streets
Now the middle class
Has barely enough to eat
A terrible time is coming
I don't know when
Keep your wits about you
And don't be afraid my friends
I just want to make a decent living
And lead a regular life
But in this new America
There may be nothing but strife
