Merica

From the sea we crawled onto the sand
The water became too toxic to take
From the beach the freaked out people ran
Clawing our way to land

All this time they thought we were a myth
They couldn’t deal with learning we’re real
All the mutant fish with bluish skin
Don’t have a right to exist

What you staring at dude?
Yeah, it’s a tail, don’t be rude
Except for the gills I am just like you

A million marchers hold up picket signs
They tell us to go way back down bеlow
We’re stealing all thе jobs as scuba guides
And that they cannot abide

Swim in separate pools
Send our kids to separate schools
Refugees from a sea that you helped pollute

Scared to death that there are more
Put a border on the shore
Just to be safe let’s nuke the ocean floor
Abomination of god
Pass a dozen fearful laws
But we put the ‘mer’ in America
