Why is everybody scared of America? Aren't we the land of the free? What do they really think of us Not our flag but you and me? Do they think because we had slaves That we want to enslave them? Do they think because we slaughter our own That we'll tear them limb from limb? Well sure, we have democracy I voted once, didn't you? The choice was 'tween a pig and a swine I wrote in "dog" it's true. Well sure, we have hospitals For ones who can pay the bill And we have fine amusement parks If you're bored and need a thrill Yeah ok, we got "soshalscurity" You pay your whole life to get it Sure we want to outlaw guns But we love 'em, c'mon admit it. Well sure, we want to clean the filth That our businessman has dumped And the medical waste and chemical dust Into the ocean we had pumped And yeah we'll stop abortion Our President says we must But no condoms for our kids They have to curb their lust And hey ok, we've got the bomb We used it only once, well twice We'll promise not to do it again But only if the world makes nice Why do they resist our system It's the best a dollar buys Eat a burger, drink a pop and watch TV Don't they want their own franchise? Our leaders will never stop "Til its all a huge Disneyland An artificial world that imitates life Just as Walt had planned In the next election You'll see what this poem meant When you go to the voting booth and make Mickey Mouse President Why is everybody scared of America? Aren't we the land of the free? Mickey Mouse wouldn't nuke the earth Would he? M-I-C-K-E-Y -M-O-U-S-E |
