Chattanooga this Chattanooga that –
Boston’s bigger than Cleveland –
Oregon’s green, New York’s black –
.
Blue collar jobs gone to China
White collar crime on the rise
Grandma takes pills for Angina
Grandpa watches Fox, can’t eat fries
.
If you grow green you’ll be busted
Except in Colorado and Cali – how’s that?
Houses in the South smell musty
Can’t scrub off the shame of the past
.
This United States of Confusion
Gunshots on city blocks – who’s to blame?
Cops shooting kids shooting heroin
But no way to fix psychic pain.
.
Chattanooga this Chattanooga that –
Portland’s wetter than Tucson –
Alaska’s cold, but low tax –
.
Manhattan priced out the artists
Detroit’s a stain on us all
Tech-heads are joining the army
Wall Street bonuses too big to fall
.
Red states won’t socialize with blue ones
Conspiracy theories abound
I had a dream we were dreaming
If we don’t wake up soon we’ll all drown.
