The Happiest Place on Earth

Lyrics
I wanna pledge allegiance to the country where I live I don't wanna be ashamed to be American But opportunity, no, it don't exist It's the opiate of the populace We need some harder shit now The truth's gettin' 'round Each public school is a halfway house Where huddled masses sober up and up Enough? There's not enough To fatten the cows And feed all of us It's just a rationing of luck What can't be bought gets raffled off Oh God, good God, shed greed on thee Your shining sea turned a dirty green From the industry Off the shores of New Jersey I got a letter from the Army so I think that I'll enlist No, I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something Too bad that nowadays, you just point and click Swing Lo satellite, hot white chariot In the computer's blue glare, bombs burst in the air There was a city once, now nothing's there Our freedom comes at their expense Makes sense, does it? Dollars and cents They're stretching barbed wire Across a picket fence That's surrounding your housing development In case you lack the confidence Oh God, my God, give strength to thee These amber waves, purple majesty Is nothing but backdrops for Disney Look up close It's superimposed On a blank blue screen Yeah, it's fantasy Fucking magical The dream floats Like a chemical Through each snapped synapse Television past is beautiful No more, no more No more
