[ Why the World Hates America ]

Why the World Hates America




You took beautiful forests and watched them as they fall
Then turned the virgin prairie lands into a shopping mall.
You all find out the hard way things are not what they seem,
While being lulled to sleep with the American dream.
You take such pride in your illegally founded land,
And oppress third world countries with abusive capitalist hands.
You think that you’re the greatest, you think that you are blessed,
But far too blind to realize that you have been possessed.
You’ve long betrayed the principles you were founded on,
You sold your souls for SUVs and suburban lawns.
Critical thinking you don’t know,
Fixated on reality TV shows,
Give your healthcare to HMOs,
Reason and fairness have to go.
Espousing the most destructive views,
On the SS station called Fox News,
Oppressing Indonesian children for Nike shoes,
And supporting Israel, the first land of Nazi Jews,
And wonder why the world hates you.
You enslaved and segregated the black man,
You set up puppet dictators in Iraq and Iran,
You even sponsored the Taliban.
CIA, DEA...
If we were smart we’d make them go away.
Because in the end it’s you who pays,
For the atrocities they commit every day.
You’ve placed yourself among the damned,
With Big Brother Bush and your abusive Uncle S.A.M.
Who turn your children into pawns,
And make them fight and kill from dusk ‘til dawn.
You’re too deaf to hear and too blind to see,
That your CEO’s are the new feudal aristocracy.
You slaughtered and raped the natives and sent them from their land,
And when you took all you could you put them on the worst of sands.
You think that casinos can solve their tribulations,
Despite knowing that you stole what was their nation.
Darwinists, communists, and terrorists, they’re just scapegoats,
To keep the peoples’ knives from elitist throats.
Rapists and molesters you punish not,
Yet you get 3 years for smoking pot.
If you sell weapons and dildos,
On an Alabama road,
The state would have you jailed and sued,
For the latter of the two.
So thump your Bibles and wave your flags,
You’ll only end up in body bags.
You’ve turned the land that you call home,
Into a veiled form of ancient Rome.
Too bad you can’t find it on a map,
And fall for a southern white man’s traps,
And stuff your face with fast food crap,
And take a century’s long mental nap.
Congress must be smoking crystal meth,
To keep sending our soldiers to their death.
I’m not the only one who wants to push,
A sharpened knife into George Bush.
But he just does what he’s paid to do,
A puppet on the string of his own tennis shoes.
Just one sword, just one gun.
Where’s a Hinckley when you need one?
