Not So Much In My State

America the great? 

Not so much in my state

We've got poverty,

Not enough people hitting the lottery

There's people without healthcare 

Hoping to get by on a prayer 

Too many are hungry 

We can all hear their tummies rumbling 

Without college, 

Our job applications won't even be acknowledged 

We just feel frustration  

Because we don't have equal access to education

People acting on their prejudice

Where is the selflessness 

America the great? 

Not so much in my state
