America Speaks For Itself

Such a lovely way to live, night after night
If you fail to find a mate, maybe you can fight
Saturate yourself in foreign substances
And pretend you can dance.
Hey, you've got a right, you earned it
'cause you are a good American.
(So God bless you!)
 
HEY! Have you heard the latest non-conformist band?
SURE you have! The stations play 'em forty times a day!
Spend a fortune on some concert tickets 
Just to say that you were there.
(I was right THERE, man!)
Hey, you've got a right, you earned it
'Cause you are a good American.
(So rock on!)
 
That garbage at the fast food joint is really foul and weak
But you spend your money there 'bout seven times a week.
So what if they tear up rainforests
Just so you can get a cheaper meal?
(Hey, that's called PRAW-gress and CAP-talizm!)
Hey, you've got a right, you earned it
'Cause you are a good American.
(Hey, they get their tax breaks like everyone else, RIGHT?)
 
Uh oh, looks like you got too hooked up on their sick game 
You skipped work to party too many times 
And they said, "See ya!"
Put your stuff in storage 
And take tours of your friends' couches for a while.
(Things will get better, you'll see)
Things will straighten up 
And you'll be back into the game.
But somehow when things don't get worse
Then they're all just the same.
But, you know, America's still OK, isn't it?
