The Greatest Deception

The greatest deception of Ms. America is that she's the land of the free
The smoke & mirrors conceals her foundation sits on slavery
As well as the bravery of young men & women who've sacrificed their lives
All under the guise of patriotism cause they believed her propaganda lies

She mesmerizes worldwide with her allure of opportunity
While simultaneously causing carnage with impunity
I use to be one of many seduced by her vanity
Her gift of gab is able to grab our dissonance cognitively

Effectively convincing the masses that she loves us
Conjuring up apathy while proclaiming "In GOD We Trust"
Yet, in the back of the bus lies her deepest, darkest secrets
But we can't peep it cause we're distracted by Ryan Seacrest

She invest in Crest to give the best smiles to her false idols
Married to the game & entertain us while wearing hidden bridles
From the cradle she indoctrinates her denizens into a web
Stealing our votes of confidence like a Bush brother named Jeb
