The third stanza is an addition, not sure whether it works or not, thoughts?
America:
Land of the Free*
*(some restrictions apply)
Where obeisance pays
And Jesus saves
If you have the proper loyalty card
Equality for all
(except the ones we don't like)
Celebrating individuality
By giving everyone the same
Standardized tests
And preaching uniformity
Television a God
His cold gaze, we trust
All-seeing eyes
And well-informed lies
Teaching us who, where
What to despise
And blindly, we follow
Where credit cards
And broken hearts
Are easy to come by
But health and happiness
Are commodities
And debt is forever
Divided we stand
Together we fall
Where do we turn?
God help us all
