We’ve Gone Too Far

America has lost its way despite being so blessed

With righteous indignation we’re still claiming we’re the best

“Power’s” not the only thing that ranks a nation first

In terms of what is Holy we now rank among the worst

In China and in Russia kids learn science, history, math

But sadly in America we took a different path

Despite what kids are born they’re told, “In pronouns you can boast”

We’re failing now our children when they need our guidance most

We’re first in what we spend on war, we’ve overflowed that cup

We lead in all the prisoners per capita, locked up

In subjects we should value we are far from number one

And leaders bought by lobbyists mean nothing’s getting done

We’ll never have a flat tax since the rich pay little now

Insurance and healthcare need an overhaul, and how

Compared to what we used to be we’re really not that great

I wonder how much longer ‘til indifference seals our fate
