She is the product of a spoiled America:
Live large, spend hard, and buy what you’re told.
She swallowed everything her daddy had given her
In one big bite, devoured it whole.
A mind ain’t worth a damn when it’s buried in the sand;
You can’t keep up with the Kardashians.
To covet all that is seen in a glossy magazine
There must be something more…
She knows nothing of history;
Where we’re from, and how it all came to be.
Why she’s here is a mystery, but it’s just – too – late – now…
I’m real sorry to be so blunt, but I’ve got nothing in common with any of these cunts.
The countdown to World War III
A date that lives in infamy.
And through it all, it turned out to be
A lie played out on MTV.
He is the product of a modern dystopia
Work hard/play hard, and sleep when you’re old
Flew to Japan where he bought Ethiopia
A life comes cheap when legally sold.
Sing along with the band when you’re trying to be The Man
You take your share, and get it while you can.
It’s supply and demand, but he’ll never understand
That there is something more…
A work/life balance means shit to me
I’d rather live, ’cos that part is meant to be
We learned nothing from history, and it’s just – too – late – now…
I’m real sorry to be so blunt, but I’ve got nothing in common with any of these cunts.
The countdown to World War III
A date that lives in infamy.
And with this vow, I pledge to thee
A life of vile complacency.
They’re shallow and awful, deserve one another
They’re breeding and spawning, just like all the others
Now he is a father and she is a mother
It’s just – too – late - now…
I’m real sorry to be so blunt, but I’ve got nothing in common with any of these cunts.
The countdown to World War III
A date that lives in infamy
And now is sprung from between her knees
A screaming ball of obscenity…
The kids of today are the bastards of tomorrow
Had you thought it through, then it wouldn’t follow:
When your pride and joy’s a nightmare to all
Our choice is jump, or die in the fall…
