The American dream
Is a Bentley
With some shiny thing
Selfish arrogant human beings
Wanting more and more
While some places could use a doctor
Plumbing of any kind
Would be mighty fine
And something to eat
Well that’s like a treat
The American style
Has us throwing good clothes away
No need to save
Or share
No need to care
For someone else
Only numero uno matters
In other places races just wish
That the police would cut their ****
Stop pointing guns at them
And shooting their children
Or that local warlords
Would leave their children be
Democracy is just a pipe dream
The American way
Strives to separate us
In competitive groups
Desensitize us
And dehumanize the other
In other places people share
Out of love
What little they have
They are glad
To give to another
So who is civilized?
