In America

In America  
has privilege poisoned us  
contaminated the water  
in our pipe dreams  
driving us to hate our neighbors  
cause the HOA said  
you didn't trim your flowers right  
In America  
gold our false idol  
pull up your boots  
tie them up tight  
it's all up to you  
missed the bus couldn't pay the rent  
living in a tent outside an abandoned school  
In America  
my sister has rules  
row yourself up the river  
cover your face bind your hands  
walking through a street of fools  
listen to the poor rich man  
as we burn it to an ember  
In America
