Night comes and goes
in America
just the same as
everywhere else
but we hold all the wealth
and health
and keep it for our self

if your neighbor sleeps soundly
by the skin of his own teeth,
then why can't we
escape such belief?

money to the trash man
money to the trash
money to the bills
but there's not enough cash
to heal the world

not enough care
to stop the fight
only wealth
and manifested right
right?

poor America is right
and ripe
with medicated water
and preserved food
to keep your nose
preserved, upturned and rude

enough corn syrup
to flood a small continent
but we're confident
we condescend
and represent
representative democracy
