Steppenwolf wrote:Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope
Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'
America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
The Monster

America Where Are You Now?

Re: America Where Are You Now?
Oh, blow it out your unoriginal ass...
If a Giant's pronouns are "fee, fi, fi, and fum", does that mean short people's pronouns are "oompa, loompa, and doopity-doo"?
Re: America Where Are You Now?
Seriously? Is it that you truly have zero comprehension? Or are you clowning?

Re: America Where Are You Now?
No, I'm serious. Nothing there is original. Nothing thought provoking. Half the rhymes don't even work, and what the hell rhythm is that even ment to be read/spoken in?
Like, it legit sucks.

Re: The Monster
Let me guess.. You are a Gawdamned republican who is uninterested in reality. You might have even been so insanely frickin stupid that you supported Donald Dump.

No, I'm a a human being who thinks that prose is trash and whoever wrote it should beg their parents forgiveness for wasting the $400 they spent on that semester of community college.
PS you suck.

Re: The Monster
Clever response! Nonetheless, you have proved yourself beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are a gawdamned frickin' idiotic dick, who can't even comprehend/admit the meaning of some Steppenwolf lyrics from 1969. (how hard is that?) You can be proud of that I suppose...in a way if what you are shooting for is to display a blatant ignorance of and denial of reality ◔̯◔ In that you have succeeded!DaveIsHere wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 5:34 amNo, I'm a a human being who thinks that prose is trash and whoever wrote it should beg their parents forgiveness for wasting the $400 they spent on that semester of community college.

Re: The Monster
Bitch, you will use proper terminology with me. I am an asshole, I don't give a flying “F” about you or the rest. Let's play.
