skies being trivalized by chemical waged war, and CEO's driving SUV's emitting toxins that destroy the very air I breath. Clean Air Act, more like need new tact to win over the liberal vote in states like Idaho where national parks are being ripped apart for parking lots.
(For amber waves of grain)
the same grain being ripped out of the farmers hand so they can buy his land and put dollars in the meglomaniacs pockets in order to skyrocket the economy, which seems like an enomely seeing how were $300 billion in debt.
(For purple mountains majesty above the fruited planes)
Planes more like plain, how no child left behind leaves many behind, in a land where the rich get richer and the poor get *****, I must be stuck on the idea that our education system is spitting out carbon clones who can test high but not get by in a country who's culture is being taken from the young with art programs being the first to go, and S.A.T.'s must stand for Sorry African Teens but your not going to college because tuition is at an alltime high, and progressive thought at an alltime low.
(America, America, God shed your grace on thee)
Better take faith soon, because in a few years when World War III is waged it will be the underpriveledged youth again standing first in line for a country that doesn't support them.
(And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea)
