Not In Our Exceptionist Backyard


Let the damn fool Euros go off and smash them whatever hadrons together, anyways
Wont find the tallest skyscrapers anywhere close to this proudly neglected urban blight
Not Even building the largest dams ta produce the most hydroelectric power around here
Ain’t taking the lead in some kind of flaky asteroid investigation mission, either, dammit

Don’t be looking for no far-too-expensive high speed rail in this here one nation under god
That next-gen thorium powerplant wont get built close to our artificially green backyards
My hopey-dopey-changey neighbor’s new solar panels are from china, not sunny SoCal
The greedy innovators of our banking geniuses aren’t backing no micro-finance revolution here

Not foolish enough to tax carbon emissions and threaten our mighty, yet oh-so fragile economy
Waitin on them Asians to ship us tiny, efficient cars that meet our new economic stations
We’re flocking overseas for treatment despite our havin the Worlds Finest Healthcare System
Listen, our kids dont need to be in the global top 10 in reading, math or science ta lead the world

Lettin others innovate that expensive smart power grid before we buy into it  - from them
Energy efficiency and buildin to last is simply not part of our Traditional Family Values®
Just get all them foreign PhDs on back outta here to teach and research and do startups at home
Our agribusiness don’t need ta lead globally by example in protecting precious farming topsoil

Wont find that worlds fastest internet in my neighborhood, not by a long shot, no Siree
Not even trying to produce like more food using less water, fertilizer and pesticides
But we are energetically increasing both our illiteracy and incarceration rates at the same time
Turnin our backs on reason, science and education just as fast as any heathen ayrab foreigners

Lettin our once-good drinking water poison us even as them Bangladeshis finally get clean wells
Nudgin our offshored multitudes towards the peasant lifestyle as Asians take to our former level
Not even demonstratin the benefits of diet, exercise and clean living to the whole world
Arent leading globally in bringing solar, wind and geothermal energy online either, by god

Satisfied back in the international pack in life expectancy, nutrition and infant mortality
Caint create the better jobs they promised when they reaped huge bonuses fer outsourcing us
Spineless coalition building aint catching on with us, the proudly polarized and paralyzed
Wont find none of our giant gas-guzzlers on the jammed streets of any crowded Asian city

Aren’t giving up our global lead in obesity, diabetes and hypertension, no way, not on your life
Proud to stand up against this costly, intrusive, messy and socialistic recycling hoax
Don’t ever bet on us not spending more on arms than all the rest of them losers combined
Aren’t building the newest ships here to bring over our imported oil and electronic gizzies

Replacing manufacturing with no-benefit, poverty-level service jobs faster than them all
Focusing on important issues like flag burning, abortion, gay rights, school prayer and gun laws
Not signing on ta this sustainability scam with the wack and weak-kneed one-worlders
Relying on god and the free marketplace for solutions, not their tired, failed social planning crap

It Ain’t My Libtard Place


How you choose to burn the fuel you’ve by God paid for ain’t no freekin concern of mine
It ain’t none of my business how much noise your gas-powered toys jam down everbody’s ears
I shouldn’t mention that your emissions foul the air for myself and all of our descendants
I just need to shut the fuck up about your so-called recreation destroying our precious national lands

It ain’t my place to say you don’t need a shoddy but retail-outlet-sized house for 4 people
Who am I to tell you to help curb overpopulation by limiting your precious children?
How dare I suggest our traditional values to be merely some recently ginned-up political advertising?
On which socialist authority do I demand that you lose a few pounds of your pseudo-muscular fat?

I shouldn’t say that we don’t have a god-given right to cheap goods made by asian slave labor
By whose socialist decree do I try and make you go out and do some boring and stupid exercise?
It takes me a lot of gall to say your kids should learn grammar and spelling before they start texting
How dare I put the ecosystems that support us all in front of your good jobs and family welfare?

It ain’t my business if you choose to use your idling truck for an overweight personal air-conditioner
By what right do I ask you to turn down the music after you paid to get into this here campground?
it takes me a lotta cowardly nerve to say that we need to drastically reduce military spending
It’s way elitist of me to contend that you’ll only ever fight global warming with your thermostats

It ain’t my place to criticize a bailout for your over-leveraged, underwater home loan
Who gave me the authority to demand that you drive some skinny vegan electric car?
Why should I think you should take interest in world events instead of watching NFL and NASCAR?
I got no right to make you give up double meat bacon cheeseburgers or yer 40 oz, Mountain Dew

It ain’t my business that you drive alone to the cube farm in an SUV built for 8 obese adults
How dare I to mutter yer one true god don’t bless America and we really ain’t his one chosen people?
It ain’t any of my concern that Ponzi finance traders make 19000 times more than average folks
Why should I actually care if the future is over-populated, strip-mined, poisoned and always at war?

It ain’t my job to preach that we used up the resources needed to pay the debts we leave behind
Who am I to judge our closeted corporate leaders who may well be full of eternal wisdom?
Why would I think farmers know better than bonus-driven BigAg execs about sustainable methods?
What gives me the right to reset economic priorities based on junk science and fuzzy math scams?

I can’t arrest you for dropping your food wrappers and smoky butts wherever you see fit
It ain’t up to me to get all in up in your face about your comically-wornout, fairytale religions
Nobody appointed me to tell you that you waste all our resources just wasting your precious time
How can I even dare to suggest that them krauts and frenchies might possibly even have a clue?

Who told me I could pester you with this socialist nonsense of climate change and mass extinctions?
It ain’t my place to bore you with trivial details when there’s something good on the big screen
What the hell was I thinking anyway, trying to tell you what’s right and wrong for you to eat?
No need to listen when I say either all of god’s life forms have a soul or none of us actually can
