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
