So I'm mad now?
So I've lost my senses?
Because I don't like what America is now-a-days?
Well, well, well... how interesting.
After Watergate, Vietnam, Iraq, and Bush;
You tell me I don't have cause to be outraged?
After the religious persecution you supposedly don't have for me?
After those interment camps you just never put the Japanese into?
You're happy little war crimes and friendly little cover-ups,
all lain out like a po-po platter for the whole f(c&i*g world to see!
And you call me egregious?
You tell me that I'm a hypocrite?
Well America, perhaps I'll turn coats too!
Perhaps Benadict Arnold saw what was comming and made the right call?
There's something rotten in the U.S, and I can't stand the smell.
I'm leaving, and I don't know if I'll ever come back... so goodbye, adieu, and look it up.
Author notes
I know this is "a yell in London about America", but it's totally something that I would start shouting if I could without getting rocks thrown at me. 
I hope you enjoy it and good luck with your move.

where we live, that might get you a rope and a barn door. just remember the country girl stuck in the states when you go. (but then again, i might have a chance to be a foreign exchange student this summer)(raspberries) you and my neighbor would get along famously.
