America, America, America,
you still have a part to play
on this huge magma-filled sphere
circling a ball of fire,
somewhere in time and space.
America, America, America,
you are still so ridiculously young
but beneath your energetic streets an
ancient evil lurks, always ready to
engulf those who no longer look ahead.
America, America, America,
please be gentle to us all and
do not let us down, because we
look to you for our weekly fix
of emotional exercise.

America, America, America,
I will always be troubled
by your violence and I
will forever despise your
tainted warpaths of glory.
America, America, America,
I will always be delighted by your
kindness and will forever admire
your diverse jumble of living human
history in perpetual motion.
America, America, America,
I know of no crazy cradle
of creativity like you,
you make people do what they do,
because you are just what you are.
