American Dream
Grab n’ go food
 Thanks to that technology boom
 You’re singing that boom boom pat
 I’m saying boom you’re fat
 ‘Cause obesity’s climbing
 While that microwave keeps sighing
 And McDonald’s sings I’m Loving It
 While you sit there and shove-it-in
 Too bad you can’t get up off the floor
 As the T.V. tells you to keep buying more
 And the FDA tells you the “Smart Choices Made Easy”
 (Personally, that makes me queasy
 Because they’re not actually that healthy)
 And it becomes only the wealthy
 Who can become skinny and beautiful
 In the way the media tells you to
 Because they can afford organic –
 And afford the dermatology clinic
 (Botox really does work,
 I should know, my AUNT can no longer smirk
 So I guess it also worked for me
 She’s scared of the wrinkles from getting angry
 Sort of)
 So we all scream Yes We Can
 As long as we get that new medical plan
 Awesome, now my taxes pay
 So that you can enjoy your Doritos today
 And get that gastric bypass tomorrow
 Great, that’s where my future income will go

Some one who gets tricked is a fool. Some one who trusts is an even bigger fool. But if you get tricked and tricked again...and still trust...that's makes you the best person to know.
