America the what?

By Phillip Session

America the what! Beautiful you call it
Maybe it use to be, but right now I just can't see
America beautiful, I doubt it, the nature might be
But the things going onin America is far from beautiful to me
A land of corrupt politicians and greedy minded visions
A land of drug infested streets and over crowded prisions
What's beautiful about that, when babies are born addiced to crack
Or in a land where one group of people trying to hold another group back
A land where only the rich get richer while the poor get poorer
A land that is falling because the economy is going through the floor
Now it's hard to find jobs for the people who need them
What about the man on the street, soon how are we going to feed him
Trying to help other countries while neglecting the needs of our own
It's just like cleaning someones house, when you don't keep up your own home
America the beautiful, how I wish it were so
A land where it's not safe to let your kids play out door
America the what! Beautiful I don't know
Is it even safe to live here anymore?
A land where enemies can come and attack us at will
I hear some of those enemies are living here still
If you could see the future of America, is it beauty you will see
or will it be America, once again, fighting to be free
