We are too stuck up to think that things could be better here for everyone;
We are too stuck up to think that it should be or is us that need to begin the move towards change;
We are too stuck up to consider multiple solutions to the same problems we see;
We are too stuck up to share credit where credit is due;
We are too stuck up to respect or accept anothers point of view;
rinse...
repeat.

I took a walk beside myself out in the rain
we chatted closely; sang the songs that slip away
Myself apologized for lack of words to say
the silence slapped my face
but i don't blame it on the rain
We carry fortitude the likes no man has seen
including us, you see, we know not what it means
the gray surrounding us - a new relentless blend
so hard to see the right
but i don't blame it on the rain

on nukes and lard
America the bountiful
won't share with any man
how much any one life worth
not pennies in their hand
many learn not growing wise
listening to dirty, dirty lies
America the plentiful
hoards all they take away
from 'assets' they've protected
and they take over and stay
told to never trust the truth
no need for proof, no need for proof
their lies are not our own
don't relieve your righteous disbelief
on those who'll understand -
we're doing what we can
America the copious
"God shed His grace on thee"
not a care for all of US
between the "shining seas"
this generation's lost the 'why'
finding bliss in living daily lies
listen hard to all the fluff
that's all there ever is
America the beautiful
the poorest of the rich
told to never trust the truth
no need for proof, no need for proof
throw that love your way
it works like hand-grenades
land it somewhere near
works in spite of fear
your war is not with us
