Welcome

Welcome to the cruelty of capitalism and its agony
The land of enlightened savagery

Welcome to where brutality is good police work
The land of the uniformed jerk

Welcome to governmental priorities focused on popularity
The land of no political sincerity

Welcome to the freedom to not practice religion
The land of stereotypes, stigmas, and tunnel vision

Welcome to washing history of sins
The land stolen from American Indians

Welcome to fatherless homes
The land of racial no fly zones

Welcome to willful ignorance to reality
The land of duality

Welcome to failed projects better known as living hell
The land of the hard sell

Welcome to the freedom to comply
The land of the compulsive lie

Welcome to the United States
The land of thieves, home of hate
