Patriotic Absolute

Let's try to distinguish,
America's greatest wish.

"I want to be free!"
"I want equality!"

Ok, let me break it down,
Tear this shit, to the ground.

You want freedom, you say?
How come you oppress every which way?

You want equality?
How come to you, it's all about "me"?

Tell me again about your charity.
Because I'm sure you donating is a rarity.

Yes show me your fancy new car,
I'm sure your paycheck is subpar.

Wait a minute. You redid your kitchen?
About the gas prices, weren't you bitchin'?

I'm sure you had a rough childhood,
Though apparently it did you no good.

Wait, you think I'm being cynical?
I think it's called analytical.
With your money you're being whimsical,
and I think you're a bit hypocritical.

Yes, you're proud to be an American,
but, can I have whatever your smokin'?
