Good Night AmericaA Poem by LUCIDMUSICGOOD NIGHT AMERICA Good night America… home of the brave Drift off on that bed of nails that you made Stay warm beneath that thick blanket of hypocrisy Put it off another day… pray for Israel, praise democracy Good night integrity… it’s been real, you taught me how to stand and fight a war Uncle Sam told me if I love something let it go And if it comes back it’s yours
I'll be holding my breath for your return
The media just texted me “lol can you believe he asked to be my friend! Sure! ;)” Good night pride hope I don’t have to pull the plug I can say it’ll never be like it once was Good night sanity… can’t say I’m surprised Sometimes it takes a black president to show true colors Andthe crazy one can find in people’s eyes … Good night civil liberties… you’ve lost weight and a few possessions I'll keep my fingers crossed Congress promised you’d get it all back next time that it's in session That is unless something else happens that can be used as a weapon … Good night Congress… make sure your pimp tucks you in tight With stories plots of power, money, and their pen’s might How to start a war, save a penny, make a buck, shorten life Forget your sick constituents praying to make it through the night Close your eyes and think warm… now turn out the light ... Good night poor people… it could be worse knock on wood Maybe tomorrow we’ll make good On EVERYTHING we said we would But if we don’t, no worries m'kay? We’ll get to your neighborhood Promise. Good night Bible belt… remember nobody knows better than you Save your money, count your coin… remember we love Jesus too See you tomorrow Good night peace, hello sorrow Good night couth and common sense we had some good times didn’t we Lament what freedom was because now it isn’t free Good night hope … sorry you didn't make the cut for the machine C'est la vie, I’ll see you in my dreams Good night change, you never had a chance admit it already Life has different lanes that end the same They’re all deadly Good night constitution… sorry about that yellow stain we left We swear, yes we swear to defend and misinterpret you To our last breath Good night Hollywood… can’t wait to hear what I need to feel complete Good night society… don’t forget your meds before you sleep Let him give his life for you, just don't let him speak Good night election year enjoy the vacation See you in a couple weeks Good night blame tomorrow you’ll have a new home Forget everything you’ve been told is true… The truth ain’t set in stone Good night liberty… we’ll always have Ellis Isle The people can speak for themselves Governmanet just tells them how Good night America you’re a star all alone Good night America, sweet dreams enjoy your date with Rome © 2011 LUCIDMUSIC |
