we called it america

remember when america
had a middle class and an upper class
that was way before the exodus
that was the america
that we thought was number one, thought would overcome
thought would never die
that was just our pride and faith,
two shitty deadly sins
i know faith isn't one of 'em but it should have been
cuz when things were crumbling
we had no camaraderie
just a faith someone would save us from despondence

we called it america

number one america
was a slogan used to keep morale up
when we knew we were already cooked
then the richer western states,
succeeded in secession
and the eastern ones followed right behind
mexi-can-america
was the perfect name
that epitomized the order of significance
authority and affluence
we had turned it all around
went from number one straight to number two (shit)

we called it america

national bankruptcy
circumcised society
USA dined and ditched
Fox reports "poor is the new rich"
