Running water
Three bedrooms
A public school
for every quarter
A store on every corner
A public defender
appointed to every pauper
Affordable Jet Blue
Any one of you can
board a flying saucer
Access to cough drops
and pork chops
Sports facilities
in the vicinity for free
You must be kidding me
this ain't the place to be
America
Minimum wage
they could pay you
You could praise
You could choose
who you pray to
Regardless who you choose
as your God
Workers comp if you get
hurt at your job
Food stamps
benefit cards
Ain't lousy
Child labor laws
Section 8 housing
I spy gas and oil power
WiFi and lots of
phone towers
The post office
and the bus station
And the train station
and the fire
and the sanitation
departments
Eviction laws will buy you
6 extra months
in your apartment
The public park
and the park bench
The streetlights
in the darkness
It's all awesome
and it's all since
America
Okay the streets
aren't paved with gold
At least they paved tho
Weaker than the euro
stronger than the peso
But you get
what you pay for
so be grateful
Think you the only file
in the caseload
This is a crazed
unsafe globe
Case closed
Complaining oh so much
Where else do people even think
they're owed so much
We are the 99% locally
We are the 1% globally
Take a trip
where women fertilize
their ovaries
and diagnosis is hopefully
It's sobering
Cut the woe is me
It's a work in progress
and it may always be
But even overseas opportunity
is known to be in
America
