Beautiful America

Keep injecting myself with novacain

But it does nothing for the pain

I asked god for his divine sight

But he is just a useless vice

The angels of change rule the day

The world itself has become such a fray

Peaceful apparitions come and go

But yesterday there seamless bodies spun out of control

Nothing is at peace, nothing rests

I have gone all this way just to end up dead

America the beautiful lies in decay

I am told my generation has made it this way

Always put the blame on someone else

It's just the natural human reaction in itself

The sirens become so loud

The nuclear weapons have destroyed the clouds

Shoot to kill is what they say

I think I'd rather starve myself, let my insides give way

When we die do we get revised?

Or do we get built again just to live another life filled with lies

The function of us humans still remains a disguise

We can't help ourselves, we all have a poor brain

In just a few seconds now the bombs will fall like rain
