America the dump

These 60 year olds
Still think the dollar has value

On Friday night
They sit mindlessly
In front of some stupid movie

They watch and follow politics

Not realizing
Our country is beyond repair

I hate this place

And so
I'll be canceling the holidays

I won't be celebrating them here

It's another year
Without full time work

No opportunities
This isn't your parents America

Sure, maybe if you know someone
You might find a decent job

If not,
You're pretty much *******

And when the whole system collapses
I'll just laugh

I'll laugh
Because they were so unaware

Glued to televisions
And facebook
Unaware of the danger

A terrible time is coming
But no one will listen

That's fine
They thought Rome
Would last forever to

The world moves toward destruction
Man is destined
To destroy himself

This primitive and ignorant race

And so,
They can put the lights up themselves

I won't be here
For Thanksgiving
Or Christmas

I'm done with family holidays

So take your pills
You drugged up Americans
Your gallons of coffee
Your pills
Your television

It's money they love most of all
But their money
Is close to toilet paper now

I'm canceling the Holidays
