Everyone was
So happy
And secure
Here in America
And in a heartbeat
My how things have changed
Suburban households
Are on food rations
Shipments
To markets
Are infrequent
Hyper-Inflation
On top of that
The power grid
Keeps failing
After the EMP attack
They get it going
For a while
And then it fails
It was only a matter
Of time
And I knew it would happen
And we weren't prepared
Sure we had a few months
Of food prepared
But that was all
We should have had years ready
Like an old man
I move slow and steady
Never know
When my next meal will be
In America
The land of misery
And the drones keep
A constant eye out
To make sure
You stay at home
If you're out
Past 11
A UN sniper
May put a bullet
In your dome
No longer
A citizen
With your rights
And with their
High tech gear
The military forces
Own the night
Life is fleeting
And it seems to me
That there may be a disaster coming
That will bring great misery
And everything
Is always so ho-hum
My family sits arounds
And twiddles their thumbs
Don't have
All the necessary
Emergency gear
A troubling time
May be quite near...
