Ooh, 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
â250 years later, letâs seeâ
A sun setting over Walgreen's on a Saturday night
An asphalt migrant hidin' his face inside of a bag
Traffic sounds radiate warmth from a chain-link fence
A boy and girl playing, with Nerf guns, in rags
âBang, bangâ
âWhoâs there?â
âMassâ
Hung over from a post-Hiroshima afterparty
We're like popular kids with a haze to suppress:
âPorn is my lifeâI love safety and freedom;
I want to be a historical figure, but my head is a mess!â
âBang, bangâ
âWho's there?â
âMassâ
âMass who?â
No books, no books!
âI haven't heard of Diogenes!â
Good hooks, good hooks!
âI actually have high standards
For everythingâŠâ
âAmerica, you're subpar,â de Tocqueville oncĐ” cackled
âSubpar? Hold up,â the Second Coming gaggĐ”d
âYou mean that 24/7 radio tuned to: âWhy do they hate us?'
America in the 21st centuryâis straight-up Las Vegas!â
(âHold up, hold upâ)
âAmerica in the 21st century is straight-up Vegas!â
(âHold up, hold upâ)
âBang, bangâ
âWho's there?â
âMassâ
âMass who?â
Rapists, racists, meet sodomist spite
Target, bad educations and Trumpian nights
âImmigrants are unfuckable; facially uglyâ?
Highbrow drag, interstate ten-lane delights
âAlso: their values seem, ânot right' in the headâ?
Wit is might; word is God
Plus youâre always right
America in the 21st century is straight-up Vegas
(âHold up, hold upâ)
Ersatz spirits dragginâ God's ideals to bed?
(âHold up, hold upâ)
(Sorry)
But America in 2024
Is not right in the head
Hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up
âInsecure, proud, and socially terrified
Americans this century are like a âgossamer fiberâ
Of the black widow patterns I've identifedâ
Quoth Christ, 21st-century philosopher titan
(âHold up, hold upâ)
America in 2024 isânot right in the head
(âHold up, hold upâ)
Americans are literally so socially anxious, too!
(âHold up, hold upâ)
We're not Spaniards, that's for sure
(âHold up, hold upâ)
The future of America?
âVegas meets fascism!â (âHold up, hold upâ)
Where high school cliques become warring ideals
Shut the fuck up why donât you
Before our very, very tired eyes
Social strivers strive only toward
A mother's reveal (âHold up, hold upâ)
Unconditional is the only way
We've ever loved in our lives
âBang, bangâ
âWho's there?â
âMassâ
âMass who?â
(âHold up, hold upâ)
America in 2024 is, not right in the head
(âHold up, hold upâ)
High school honeycombs, why not foreigners instead?
(âHold up, hold upâ)
We're not Spaniards, that's for sure, that's for sure
(âHold up, hold upâ)
Unconditional is the only way
We've ever loved in our lives
âBang, bangâ
âWho's there?â
âMassâ
âMass who?â
