Rewrite of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation
*Spoken*
We are a nation with a million
Stupidity boundaries
Slowly coming unwound together
We start useless wars
With our mindless prejudices
We are but simple minded individuals
Unwilling to share even for an instant
The smallest of a common vision
Pushing away the decent and the good
Faster and faster
The diease spreads
Drawing those bloody battle lines
Yes we are
What we have let this world make of us
Yes we are
An urination nation
With fear and hate at our side
When we're not the ones
Who could get hurt
We look the other way
From the most devious crimes
Abortions and the same sex lusting together
These are the things that tear down
A rightous way of life
Why do we hear only silence
Not even one voice raised in protest
When you stay quiet
You do yourself and your God
The gravest injustice
A generation I see lacking
The balls and the courage
To stand up and fight for thee
Asshole people of this pitful world today
On your youtube and Facebooks
24/7
Why do you waste your lifes
Get on Craigslist
Cheat on your wife
You sinners, addicts and homos
Yeah, it's all your fault
The good ole U.S. of fucking A
How sad today
Ain't nothing but a damn urination nation
Selfish dim wit people
In this fucked up world today
What gives you the right?
To abort before it's even begun
One little one's happy life
Time after time
You act like Manson
With his knife
Ending that unborn Tate's life
That's why today, tomorrow and every day
Until there is a change
I won't stop
I'll tell it like it is
America is nothing
Nothing but a washed up stink hole
Urination nation
Again and again
Our dumb high school jocks
They fail the test
Rather play ball and knock up a girl
Then learn something so simple
As A-B-C
1-2-3
Ha, how's that for progress?
Life just one big caveman stuggle
If there's nothing in it for us
We won't lend a finger
Much less a hand
Shun those who have a postitive aids test
While we hug and forgive
A monsterous child killer
For his worse
What happened to make us
To leave us
So bitter and jaded
Who the hell else here will stand with me?
Who the hell else for Heaven will give a damn?
Get your shit together now, come on!
