AND IT WAS GOOD

Greedy capitalists assault the senses
Every minute of the day

It’s the American way
I only ever triedTo sell myselfOften failing miserably(but stuck with it)
Things that chap your assAre easily remedied If you’ll just get off of itAnd take care of business

Now that would makeA good advertising slogan(with a patriotic ring)To help boost the economy
O AmericaIs there any hope for you now?
Whitman saw it all folding outInto a glorious panorama
Scaling mountainsPulling myself cautiously up 
And it was good.
Hold onto that romantic vision
AmericaLike the buffalo you decimatedIt may yet make a comeback one dayWhen neighbor stops hating neighborAnd brother stops killing brother
Oh heyListen to meYou can still hear thatWide-eyed idealistBoarding the bus to the airportTo board the planeAnd wing his way over the oceanTo a brand new lifeAnd all because he took a chanceAnd got off his ass And followed his dream
