And thusly, would it remain forever, Morning
In Merica
Believed that “change is the way of all things” is a
justification for endless greedy takings
Demeaned science as fuzzy yet maintained a crystal clear
vision of His paradise, awaiting us
Never took the time to make sense of things yet still
wondered why the old were all so confused
Preached that market competition would efficiently &
automatically solve any and all social ills
Spoke of our values and traditions as we tossed aside more
valuable recyclables each and every day
Went forth multiplying blindly, blissfully righteous, given
the blessings of our very own one true god
Wisely kept government out of the so-called business of
habitat and species preservation
Built strong children in front of TV on factory white bread
and cheap, tortured byproduct burgers
Quietly nurtured a proud illiteracy to enable our puppet
leaders to simplify choices and explanations
Sold defense, banking, insurance, oil, agriculture and
healthcare oligopolies our unhindered access
Made damn sure our progress wasn’t stalled by wastefully
expensive environmental non-issues
Looked forward to a 1000 Year Reich powered only by
ever-increasing consumer credit spending
Erected Import temple malls using illegales working with the
cheapest materials available
Spent more per year than all other countries combined on defense
to hold off their bogeymen
Doggedly recognized the evils of that tired socialism as it
continually raised its ugly, wornout head
Mouthed ‘You can’t stop progress’ as the ultimate
rationale for all our smash and grab profit
Impersonally advanced society via outsourcing engineering,
production and support overseas
Gifted our sage leaders huge non-refundable bonuses based on
the quarterly stock numbers
Institutionalized calls for more study as a method for
defeating all forms of junk regulatory proposals
Ended each and every speech with the unashamed exceptionist
demand that God Bless America
Used ‘too costly in jobs and money’ as a durable
defense against any and all intrusive regulation
Entrusted our future to greed-blinded, furtive corporate leaders
and their camera-hungry politicians
Called for Personal Responsibility while callously shedding
pensions, debts and workers
Subsidized an unarmed takeover by illegal Hispanics as we
fought a faraway war on terror
Replaced long-term planning with stall tactics until issues
could be deemed too expensive to address
Hallucinated a healthy long-term economy powered only by
financial services and retail sales
Denied our total reliance upon a healthy environment using
the phony shibboleth of jobs and families
Piled debts upon the future even as we furiously wasted the
resources they would need to pay them
Named as our Best and Brightest the vain who created quasi-mathematical
financial Ponzi schemes
Ruled that externalities like water and air were not
problems for either business or government
Left our soils, crops and animals to the ever monthly cost
and stock price watchful evil eye of BigAg
Declared that the future would take care of itself if only
left free of burdensome gov’t regulations
Divorced ourselves from natural cycles in favor of mass
immersion in co-opted, vapid media trends
Infused our loud and willful ignorance with self-granted
righteousness and unwarranted macho pride
Increasingly relied on overseas sources for vitals such as
technology, food, drugs and consumer goods
Sarcastically belittled the stupid freaking foreigners from our exalted position as Gods
chosen people
