AmericaA Poem by John A CommonAn outlook on life.AMERICA.
She is like my mistress Sure she lies to me She cheats on me At the end of the day i stay with her Because shes the best thing going.
America
You promised me when i was poor if i only worked hard I could have whatever I wanted I still dont have s**t
America
You said things would be grand You said keep your head up Now i waste my nights in a factory More broke then when i lived in the projects
America
You tell me drugs are bad Yet all the worst drugs are legal You say obey the law Yet all the rich people are criminals
America
I long for the days of my youth I would wrap myself in the flag I believed in you Wanted to be a good american
America
