I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live 
I don't want to be ashamed to be American 
But opportunity no, it don't exist
It's the opiate of the populace 
We need some harder [bad word] now 
The [bad word] is getting around 
And each public school is a halfway house 
Where the huddled masses sober up and up enough 
There's not enough to fatten the cows and feed all of us 
It's just a rationing of luck 
What can't be bought gets raffled off 
Oh God good God shed greed on thee 
Your shining sea turned a dirty green 
From the industry off the shores of New Jersey 
I got a letter from the army
So I think that I'll enlist 
I'm not brave or proud of nothing 
I just want to kill something 
Too bad that now-a-days you just point and click Swing low satellite 
Hot white chariot 
In [bad word] s blue glare 
The bombs burst in the air 
There was a city once now nothing is there 
Our [bad word] at their expense 
It makes sense, does it? Dollars and cents 
They're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence 
That is surrounding your housing development 
Just in case you lack the confidence 
Oh God my God give strength to thee 
These amber waves purple majesty 
Are nothing but backdrops for Disney 
We'll look up close 
It is superimposed on a blank blue screen 
It is fantasy [bad word] magical 
The dreams floats like a chemical 
Through each snapped synapse our television past that is beautiful no more, no more
No more
