Anxiety inducing news, everywhere you turn
Old men lighting fires, watch the word burn
I’m beginning to think the people won’t learn
As long as there’s crumbs, we’re dying to earn
The news is real, but it’s twisted to lies
Often repeated, epic in size
By smiling faces in clever disguise
Hoping for change, but nobody tries
Scared, and stressed? There’s a pill for that
Or just buy our product, be happy and fat
But fat isn’t happy, now what do you do
Not to worry, there’s a pill for that too
Scapegoat a race, it’s been done before
Weren’t we against that, in the last world war?
So if not for freedom, what do we fight for?
Just so the rich, can have even more
Children in cages, scared and alone
Taken from the desperate, fleeing their homes
Legal points of entry, blocked by Border SS
Forcing illegal crossings, and you know the rest
We’re exceptional alright, exceptionally bad
Denying the chances, that our ancestors had
Empathy has been removed from the equation
Imagine if they faced the same situation
Public is outraged, they all dismiss it
Pressure is building, so they move to fix it
Extinguishing fires, they alone set
Won’t make them heroes. What don’t you get?
Ignorance rampant, crumbling schools
Truth is decaying, a world of fools
Different is scary, when viewed through the lens
Of propagandists at Fox and Friends
White flight to the suburbs leaving cities to die
Taking their money, and still wonder why
People are desperate in what’s left behind
Oh well, whatever, at least I got mine
Now, that IS exceptional. You brilliantly encapsulated the real State of the Union.
