divided we fall

sadly, my country is so polarized and so divided these days
looks like this time we may have to finally all go our separate ways

split right down the middle, us versus them, it seems
like a bent over obese fat man ripping the seat of his favorite blue jeans

seems like everybody is running for office and nobody is running the country
and it doesn’t matter who wins since no one can stop this spending spree

the sanctimonious Senate hasn’t passed a budget for more than three years
and that doesn’t do much for our economy or to dispel away our fears

the lessons of little Greece seem totally lost on us
but when California goes bust somebody is gonna notice and put up a fuss

but I fear it’s all too little and too late to find a solution
since no one seems to care or understand the wisdom of our constitution

I guess it’s a good thing that Rodney King won’t see this and is no longer here
cause it’s obvious we all just can’t get along and this isn’t going to be a good year
