Elbows on the table with your head in your hands Wondering when America will ever land Well I hear your cry and I feel your pain You're not alone I can't sleep 95% of Americans must be blind, deaf, or dumb Does it take your throat getting cut before you realize what is up? 96% of Americans are high on drugs and alcohol The government is making sure you get your fix of coffee, Prozac and cigarettes. 97% of Americans cannot name all the presidents Flipping on the TV for reality- about as real as democracy 98% of Americans are manipulated by the media Sound bites, speculation, endless tragedy At the least I'd like our leaders to appear smarter than me 99% of Americans should know they cannot claim to be #1 The louder you scream about how great you are- the faster you become irrelevant. 100% of Americans cannot agree on anything It's a matter of time before we self destruct It's why we can't sleep- it's why we're on drugs Elbows on the table with your head in your hands Wondering when America will ever stand Proud and tall with integrity- justice for all- equality When less than 1% of Americans have more wealth and power than the rest of us The wheels are greased- the senate bought These criminals run free even when they're caught So I hear your cry and I feel your pain It's good to know you're here with me At least I know if we're going down I'm going to have some friends around 'Cause I can't sleep I can't sleep
