I spent some time with a guy who is strictly anti-american. He experessed a lot of things to me (some I agree with, some I don't), but nonetheless I wrote this to commemorate his unique ideology.

- - - - -

Shoveling gold into barrels.
Packing it up for far away

And this time...
you might find,
that it will creep up from behind.


Set a course for discovery;
for a land that's free.
A genuine society -

(Politics
with the tricks
hidden up their sleeves.)


Ships come sailing in.
Fire storming from the sea.
All for a land that's free.
So we can charge everybody to see.


Set up a little system.
Keep the faith alive.

Rows of suits,
no one can hide.

Sell out to survive.

Slowly its spreading out,
slowly the flames grow thin.
And then a new blaze begins.

America, from outside within.
(and everything just collides)
