High School is just another frustration of today’s generation

Whose creation is just a bunch of demonstrations

Of todays lack of education

What we really need is an excavation

Of yesterdays nation

When we still cared about preparation and obligation

Yet today’s high school is just a vacation

For todays retardation

We need a transformation of education and stimulation

I swear to your legislation this isn’t a dramatization

Its humiliation of the federal organization

Its no wonder we can’t elect good legislation

When we are forced to test until we have heart palpitations

Instead of the billions we spend on insubordination

We may want to put some in our bureau of education

It may be a generalization

But high schoolers are not ready for higher education

We need to help our next generation

Or they will become abominations

I hope this leads you Obama to having a realization

That you and Bush were both bad nominations

 

But why would they listen

They glisten with gold

As the rich get richer

And the poor get cold

The nation is twofold

A small percent controls all the world as the middle class molds

 

Behold the American dream once shiny and new

Is now tainted and untrue

There is no more movement of classes, just enough money to make do

The politicians had it go under review

And found it was unfit for a world ran by billionaires, damn dudes

There are no more American employers

Just a bunch of American lawyers

Ready to jump against any case that would be a destroyer

 

They don’t understand, but with out the dream

And a middle class that’s worth some bean

They don’t get it but were the beam

Supporting the companies that give the fat cats their ice cream

Can you see a theme?

 

What I’m trying to say is America is in the dumps

It gives me the goose bumps

But whether it is a speed bump

Or a jump

Off a cliff is up to the one percent

I know that you enjoy to raise the rent

And that giving money to education is torment

But with out the dream and a base to support it

Your ascent will be quickly taken

As America’s youths become discontent

 

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government

 

That’s what’s gonna happen if you don’t create a better establishment

You see Syria, and Egypt thrown into war

Do you really want to loss all you have…what for?

All I’m asking is not to let America become another whore

I’m hoping that you take this message to heart

Before America just gives up and it all falls apart.
