Troubled Spots

WOOEE, we never been so free,
We have sex without responsibility.
We vote, and binge on shopping sprees,
We live and die in luxury,
Only we aren’t happy.

Son of a gun, sex is fun,
We live life on the run.
Watch out for the other guy,
The one with the gun.
Don’t say he’s not related,
He’s your father’s girlfriend’s son.

What about the world’s hungry masses,
Who gave you all of their resources
For the unfulfilled promise of liberty,
And still are suffering in poverty?
Believe that with modern technology
There’s enough to fill everyone’s needs.

Home of the brave
Land of the free,
Be anything you want to be.
This is the land of opportunity
We all know what we want to be,
Stars and celebrities on TV.

Reach out to your brothers and sisters
Living in poverty.
Can't trust the government
To end the misery.
Divert your attention, boys and girls,
To troubled spots of the world.

There is an idea to which we might resort,
Let robots do all the work,
Set the human race free.
Then we could all be
Stars and celebrities on TV.
