This is America
where Christians rule.
Since I am agnostic, I don't fit in.
And religion is stuffed in my face.
Complaining is futile.

This is America
where the office of the President
is bought and sold to the highest bidder,
thus Corporate rules the land.

This is America
where you can be told to
"Get the hell out if you don't like it."
Padilla tried to leave.
He's in a South Carolina jail right now.

This is America
right or wrong.
Since I don't agree with Bush,
I should leave, right?
But then you will come get me
and throw me in jail too.

This is America
where gay marriage is considered
to be a hotter topic than
the war in Iraq.
But then again, the war in Iraq
is illegal.

This is America
where people are living their lives in fear
of a madman that we created.
You reap what you sow
and it has come home to roost.

This is America,
home of the free, land of the brave
but it's easy to be brave
from the comfort of your own home.
Try to be brave in a hostile desert
with Death lurking in every grain of sand.
