We do not burn books in America We just ignore them, for we light our nights And burn away our individual souls Upon an altar green, clean plastic grass Come together as one unto the lights The concept of the tablets now writ large An electronic scoreboard – and if we’re good We’ll see our snaggly grins all ten feet tall Eighty-thousand dollars of education Beaming civilization six nights each year
