What is Americana?

let me tell you why you are here

those commercials make you think

banks are philanthropists

those commercials make you think

opening a can of beer, makes you the man of the hour

those commercials make you think

sodas and cars are what make this world perfect

now, in the one hand, you take the blue pill

the matrix isn't real

and not even axe deodorant can save your funk from the world

in the other hand, you take the red pill

and you realize the reality of death and taxes

do you wish to continue?

i remind you, you can't go back

...

now that's a wise choice

...

when you drink

you may think you are fun

but you are not 

because the toilet becomes your date

when you download a u2 song from iTunes

you have not guaranteed the cure for cancer

and have polished the image of a criminal enterprise

and you when drink a coca-cola while driving

your brand new car

you have bought from corporations

they for which only exist for money

 

to increase profit; not lives.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

inspired by the martix super bowl car commercial with a few liberties.

 

[edit] slight line placement that now makes sense.
