Raped on the hood of a car.
The only thing left is an unborn child.
She’s walking to the clinic to the kill the memory.
10 advocates ruin the plan.
Not only killing her but the cause too.

Waiting in a smoky bar.
Will you get lucky tonight?
Who knows?
9 wrapped in your pocket
Bet you cant believe she’s underage.

Standing on the street corner.
Patient for a trick.
Trying to make what you’re doing okay.
8 year old son at home.
But you’re getting paid.

Lying  in the street.
Lay-offs got real bad.
Sleeping with your family under the 540 bridge.
7 lives lost in a budget cut.
Work is hard to find.

In jail for life on a false crime.
Admitted a murder you didn’t commit.
The FBI convinced you that you did something wrong.
6 more fights in a prison cell.
The government are the heroes.

Bombing in a city street.
Blame it on the Muslims.
Have to find a scapegoat one way or another.
5 more sivilians dead.
Media lies about Islam once again.

Let us rejoice.
We handled everything.
But why are people still dying?
4 more soldiers down.
The war is on. No one won.

Student on the school bus.
Beat till he’s out cold.
Mentally damaged for the rest of his life.
3 people convicted.
They get off on parole.

Together for decade.
Want to sew their union.
People meet on television, get married in a week.
2 gay men pushed away.
Who’s really more in love?

On a mission to Mars.
Neglect other issues.
Anything that’s really important is cast aside.
1 more teenager with a bullet in his head.
Is the solar system that important with another one dead?

Economic warfare.
Not enough soldiers.
In every other country’s affairs and not in our own.
0 dollars in our budget.
Welcome to our America.
I think people are way too damn blind to actual issues in America. Yes, these issues happen alot in other places, but people in America act like they dont go on here.

Wow, some of the people on here are complete dicks. People like to treat the youth like shit and think we know nothing, not realizing that they were our age once before. I thought it was funny how he talked shit on poli-sci classes, when my poli-sci classes forced us to debate and write papers and read Newsweek every week. Yep, I know nothing.

I like America. There are so many more crappy countries than here. But right now, things are rather shitty. Everyone has someone to blame. Blame the Muslims, the illegal immigrants (who I don't really like very much either), Obama, immorality, anything. God forbid we look at ourselves and try to make our own lives better instead of complaining all the damn time. I lost thousands of dollars because our government can't afford grants for college students, but we're paying for a war. We glorify violence but say that sex is evil and immoral. It's just ridiculous. I like what you had to say because it's HONEST. God forbid I think my father, a volunteer firefighter, is a hero, and I don't run all over the place kissing the ground soldiers walk on. Do I respect them? Of course. But they tell you to worship Jesus and soldiers and government or get out. I literally had someone tell that to me once and I was appalled.
