Making up for Lost Time

Why are they mad
Is it because they know America’s a lie
Is it because it makes them feel
Like they’re never good enough
You made them, America
Y’know, what do you expect
And as ancient Rome reappears
Uh, physical prowess is
More important than, uh
Intelligence, knowledge
You know, is that
Encouraging America to be
Not only more violent, but dumber
Why’d he shoot, uh…
All those bombs
And kill all those foreigners
Well, he’s the president, y’know
That’s the American way
He’s out on bail
Y’know, he’s charged with murdering
Two people and he’s out on bail
A few years ago
There was this teenage
Punk rocker kid
Who was run down
In an IHOP parking lot
By a white jock and his girlfriend
In dad’s Cadillac
And uh… this boy died
Because he looked different
And he was run down by a
Drunk piece of shit that hated him
Y’know the jury felt
The punk rocker deserved to die
Because he looked the way he did
Um, and then the killer
Was even applauded at graduation
Because he was a football star
The American Dream, strong, normal
And I think that that’s where
Y’know, a dying culture began
And a dying culture
Kills everything that it touches
So who do we blame
