Come on down and pay your dues
To the good ole red, white and blue

Come say hi to Uncle Sam
In your words, He's the man

Come on now, respect the system
Its full of morals, God, and wisdom

Your Ma's and Pa's can pay the taxes
And we'll whip out our battle axes

We love welfare, Medicare, love to share
Homeless, old, and poor,
Help 'em all, we don't care
(As long as we get our 10% in our pockets)

C'mon kiddies, gather 'round
where flags and eagles can be found

Everybody listen here
Don't you fret, don't you fear

We,ve got it all under control
buried in a deep, deep hole

Come on down for the cure
If you're normal,
we'll help for sure

If your weird don't even bother
up and down, colder, hotter

Thats the way the trends go
Ya gotta keep up with the times, don't ya know?

Oh now look it's Britney Spears
Wish I could be just like that little dear

Hey it's the Backstreet Boys
If only Nick would be my toy...

(Sigh)

American mentality
Be popualar and pretty

Then you'll go somewhere in life

So come on kids, pay your dues
To the good ole red, white, and blue

Good commentary... really dug this. Now I've got to go see if the poem is still on the Teen thread!

And so, being young and dipt in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
But dreams - of those who dream as I,
Aspiringly, are damned, and die:
