Sensory 9000

They told me you could go far
Sucking cigarettes and playing golf
Stepping over heads
Reaping from your friends
Eating all the things
Being but the best
They teach you that it’s okay
Sinking deals and signing checks
Stabbing all your foes
Getting to the top
Salivating prose
Money in your mouth
They sell you on the American dream
Plotting land and swallowing whole
Blood on the grass
Blood on the shore
Swim or you’ll sink
Go fast or you’ll fall
They trick you with the ultimate lie
Cashing stocks and feeling sly
Starving on the streets
Take another loan
Eviction on the door
Can’t work another job
They tell you that they care
Taking money and lawless affairs
Guts on the gavel
Begging for help
Both sides hate us
Where do we run?
They inform you they’re saving the world
Building banks and fighting firms
Constructing rooms
Raising prices
Spit on your face
Zone another lot
They tell you that it’ll all be fine
Hiking insulin and drinking wine
Live another day
Strip another school
Invent more plastic
And rip another home
They told you it’s helping us
Starting wars and staging coups
Bust another nation
Assassinate your foes
I can’t hold this American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
American guilt
