Americana, it's where I wanna/
Be all I can be, heir of Madonna/
We are the Borg, try this New Age Theravada/
Psychotherapy, selectively de-criminalized marijuana/ 4
Hypocrisy, not a shock to me in the land of totalitarian democracy/
Beef with Uncle Sam cuz I'm for my country but he's not for me/
Robbing me of my rights but how do you steal what I got for free?/
Such debauchery, a menáge-a-three is French: I think I heard it on TV/ 8
Big brother and big lover, a smorgasbord with scores of Lords/
A Christian pantheon that professes one god – ever heard of a whore before?/
Some go door to door claiming compared to others they have more in store/
So donate half your salary that you can't afford and second amendment 44s/ 12
It's corporate war! with no pensions, I guess they forgot to mention/
That Americans are mercenaries of religion, jobs and of course pretention/
Upward mobility ain't so easy see in my lifetime's fourth recession/
Feel bad and perform confession, if in pain have a morphine injection/ 16
There's a pill for everything, found in nature, but when we're killing everything/
Soon we'll no longer possess the means to discover the next sensu bean/
What once were orators are now politicians, ask any adult to do long division/
Learning rhetoric? We deaded it... I presume due to cost restrictions/ 20
Microwavable food when in rush, college students scoff at kitchens/
Don't talk to me it's too early, we're also coffee victims/
Victims because it's not our fault, we were born into it/
Only cheated on my girl because of the normative porn influence/ 24
But it's got more to do with being insecure in our identities/
Cuz when we swear off where we came from we obscure our cultural memories/
Ungrateful bastards that we are, our futures get a severing/
Cuz when I disrespect my elders tell me who is left to mentor me?/ 28
So we turn to tabloids and reality TV to distract us from our lives/
We use Twitter and Facebook to aggrandize our lives/
We all read Harry Potter to re-imagine the magic in our lives/
Can't help but be hopelessly mixed up from all these Americana lies/ 32
