America it’s
By Sage Ricci

Germany say 1935
Or surely not later
I hope not later
Not too late to see the
Flag wavin’ crotch scratchin’
Boot marchin’
Spit out the corners of our mouths
Good old fashion protection racket
We work hard to shovel bread in
Pay the cell phone bill
Keep the kids plugged in
Those shoot-em-up videos aint cheap you know
They run on oil
But hey
That guy over there
Stealin’ my money
He’s a heart transplant
Liver-rejected Welfare Queen
AIDS mother-fucker
Who aint in the stock margins
Never will be
He’s the first to go
The Jew remember
America it’s
Germany 1935 or
Surely not later
I hope not later
Not too late
