Bibles Plus Guns Equal The American Dream

THE AMERICAN DREAM
(TIGHTLY) ENCASED IN A JP233
ONE HAND ON A BIBLE AND ANOTHER ON A GUN
THE WORLD MAY RESIST AT FIRST
BUT DON'T THEY ALWAYS?
BETWEEN US WE KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM
SO FOCUSED ON WHAT WE WANT
WE FORGET ABOUT WHAT WE NEED
THE AMERICAN DREAM
TWELEVISED ON A 50 INCH SCREEN
TOLD WHAT TO FEAR AND WHAT NOT TO WEAR
SO FIXATED ON WHAT WE WANT
WE'RE OBLIVIOUS OF THE COST
SO PROUD OF ALL THAT WE HORDE
WE LOST SIGHT OF WHAT WE DIE FOR
WE WANT TO ACT LIKE WE'RE BETTER THAN THIS
BUT IT'S AS SIMPLE AS A LOOK IN THE MIRROR
WE CAN HIDE FROM OURSELVES ONLY SO LONG
NO MATTER HOW MANY DISTRACTIONS WE CREATE
SO FIXATED ON WHAT WE WANT
WE'RE OBLIVIOUS OF THE COST
SO FIXATED ON WHAT WE WANT
WE FORGET ABOUT WHAT WE NEED
