lyrics

A bitter member of society, another bastion of sobriety.
I won't be afraid of what I can't see until it's inside of me.
I turn my favorite pundit on,
so I can seethe while I seed the front lawn.
And I'm so afraid of who I can't see
That I won't ever leave

This beautiful country of mine,
where the poor can't speak
and the rich folks will lead to better times.
Just sign the dotted line.
This beautiful country of mine,
where the poor can't speak
and the dead vote over party lines.
This glorious land of mine.

I'll argue endlessly the gun debate,
somehow I'll prove to you that love means hate.
Yeah, you've got it all wrong!
Dear leader told me so!
(.. as he passed the collection plate)
No I won't need no hospital,
because I'm big and brave, he told me so.
So let's fire up the gears,
and lend me your ears,
and lend me your
venti
venti
ventilator

In this beautiful country of mine,
where the poor can't speak
and the rich folks will lead to better times.
Just sign the dotted line.
This beautiful country of mine,
where the poor can't speak
and the dead vote over party lines.
This glorious land of mine.

God bless us
