Desaparecidos Conor Oberst - The Happiest Place On Earth Lyrics

I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't want to be ashamed to be American

but
opportunity no it doesn't exist it's the opiate of the
populace we need some harder shit now the truth is
getting around and each public school is a halfway
house where the huddled masses sober up and up enough?

There's not enough to fatten the cows and feed all of
us. Its just a rationing of luck what can't be bought
gets raffled off oh god good god shed greed on thee,
your shining sea turned a dirty green from the
industry off the shores of new jersey I got a letter
from the army so I thi8nk that I'll enlist I'm not
brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill
something too bad that nowadays you just point and
click

swing low satellite hot white chariot in the
computer's blue glare the bombs burst in the air there
was a city once now nothing is there our freedom comes
at their expense it makes sense does it dollars and
centers they're stretching barbed wire across the
picket fence that is surrounding your housing
development just in case you lack the confidence oh
god my god give strength to thee these amber waves
purple majesty are nothing but backdrops for Disney
well look up close it is superimposed on a blank blue
screen it is fantasy fucking magical the dreams floats
like a chemical through each snapped synapse our
television past that is beautiful no more no more
