The Happiest Place On Earth

Lyrics

I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
 I don't want to 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 is getting around
 And each public school is a halfway house
 Where the 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 gare
 The bombs burst in the air
 There was a city once, now nothing's there
 Our freedom comes at their expense
 It makes sense, does it? Dollars and cents
 They're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
 That's surrounding your housing development
 Just in case you lack the confidence
 Oh God, my God, give strength to thee
 These amber waves, purple majesty
 Are nothing but backdrops for Disney
 Well, look up close - it's superimposed
 On a blank blue screen, it's fantasy
 Fucking magical
 The dream floats like a chemical
 Through each snapped synapse
 Our television past that is beautiful no more
 No more
