look at our government, taking money from people who need it
giving stimulus checks back to the wealthy and greedy
it makes me sick to my stomache, I feel like Im gonna vomit
take my stimulus check, I dont think I even want it
because I think of the poor hungry and homeless people
who have no place to eat sleep or roam this evening
as I look out the window I see America dying
it'd take a miracle just to keep our America fine
in good condition, my mission in life is survive
but they let terrorists into America, where is the crime?
and the government's kickin people straight out of their homes
taking their money and leave em all with no place to go
and they wonder why nobody turns out to vote
is this a joke? nope, those people have no home
why would they vote? this aint a democracy, we're slaves
thank God that we live in a country called the U.S. of A

I'm not joking, it's like ayo Tyde, you gotta be kidding
but I isn't, me didn't pass or get by in me class
in english and math
I had trouble speaking and reading and adding
cause the government cutting funds, no money for schools
businesses close, because they're broke, no joke, it's true
they never get it, it's so pathetic, we live by the rules
come to find out, we don't win, we get beat up and bruised
scuffing our shoes to put some food on the table and man
its like I can not understand our government's plan
we need a hand to pull ourselves up out of this jam
time for a man to take the lead and be in command because our

Senator McCain and Barack Obama been fighting for it
don't care who wins as long as he shows that he supports us
they know what happens when no one votes, no one's awarded
so many polls, everybody knows, November fourth is
the day we pick a new president, a candidate
but I'm hesistant, who should I elect head of the state?
I did my homework, but no work done is easy as it seems
I flip the channel whenever Sarah Palin gives a speech because our
