Damn America--Where'd We Go Wrong
By: Wayne Brown
The national debt is neck-deep; a budget is non-existent
Our citizens are angry and building their resentment
It seems we are very near the end of the fat lady’s song
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Our borders have more holes than a wheel of Swiss cheese
America is awash in illegals like a dog with a case of fleas
We have not paid attention, left the cat out far too long
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Jobs are getting more scarce than the enamel on chicken teeth
Theft and corruption in government programs; truly beyond belief
And what happen to the elected ones standing for us so strong?
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Environmental fanaticism seems to be the order of the day
We want all the crude we can get if it comes from far away
Foreign oil is a mistake; not the place that our efforts belong
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Labor unions and their ilk are all demonstrating in the streets
Wanting contracts honored that the taxpayers cannot meet
Who could be so stupid to put us on this road that we’re on
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Crooked politicians line their pockets while they serve
They look us in the eye and lie; man, they got some nerve
Lying, cheating, stealing; just a thread run too long
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Time was when a man was honored to serve with honesty
To lead the nation forward and secure the land of the free
But now those times have changed; they sold us for a song
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
The time is long gone when things were great and copasetic
America needs to wake up and move away from apathetic
This nation is a teetering on a cliff edge not so strong
Damn America! Where did we go wrong?
Wake up America, wake up and see the harshness of the facts
Spending is out of control and the debt is piling up in stacks
Look at what is going in your country; get the honest truth
Resolve to make changes for real good at the polling booth.
