Your America

I don't understand your America
land of the free
and home of the brave
seems the brave are away
in the trenches
fighting for the freedom
we crave

I don't understand your America
where guns are a childs' best friend
then we cry while familes
lay dying
because mad souls
take guns to
their end

Where are we now?
Can we fight this somehow?

we trivialize
the innocents
glorify
the violence
smothering
the dissidence
frown upon
obedience
when it all seems so prevelant
hopeless faces
scream for
relevance
can we bring back
just one last chace
for America

So, I don't understand your America
the peroxide and spray tans and fake
little girls starving
their minds and mouths
knives carving
toxic beauty
based upon lies
and black lace

and I don't understand your America
celebrities king queen and joker
the same
every second of fame
we can squeeze from
our names
one day soon
it's all goin' up
in flames

and where can we go from here?
some kind of home where there is no fear
who would believe us now
can't you see
it's all coming
crashing down ....
on America ~
