A cliche poem about America.

              America, America, home of the brave.  
              America, America, The drugs that you crave.  
              Go shopping, Go shopping! Its all the rage.  
              No dollars you save, implying any care that you  
              gave.  
   
              My leader, my leader, I had a say?  
              that's what I thought, till I fell out of my daze.  
   
              But nay.  
              Your corruption, your greed, founded on these.  
              the pendulum swings, arbitrary greed.  
              The reason children want more than they need.  
   
              So drink your tea, but not me, not me.  
              I fancy a life of dignity.  
                
              And if I cant have that, I'll fight for it back.  
              I wont be throwing my paper in corporate hats.  
   
              Fuck America, and thats that. Or what youve become.  
              Open your eyes and see the facts.  
                
              Oh... and, "Together we stand, United we fall",  
         I've only seen that in the shoppingmall
