America is
America is
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream, so full of it
Look at the Indians, look at the blacks
Look at the figures, look at the facts
Look at the facts, the facts, not the lies
When you find out -- big surprise
That America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream, so full of it
Check out the Indians, check out the blacks
And then you check out the figures, and then you check out the facts
Just check out some facts, check out the facts, not the lies
Then you'll find out, it's a big surprise right between the eyes
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream is only a dream
No desperation limit, new desperation level
Even though my nose don't work
I smell trouble, I smell trouble
No desperation limit, new desperation level
Murder, murder in the government
Say you're sorry, say you're sorry
No desperation limit, new desperation level
Turn the key, turn the lock
Nationalism, you can suck my
No desperation limit, new desperation level
Watch how the world's progressin' everywhere
Aggression, aggression
Aggression, aggression
Aggression, aggression

A proposito di “America is the home of the hypocrite”, in questi giorni sentivo distrattamente i GR che raccontavano del tour mondiale di Trump, che prima è andato dai sauditi per vender loro - e (in)direttamente all'ISIS – 110 miliardi di dollari di armi, poi è andato in Israele a parlare di pace, poi è andato dal Papa e gli ha regalato un libro coi discorsi di Martin Luther King e gli ha promesso 300 milioni di dollari “per combattere la fame nel mondo”...
110 miliardi di luride armi agli schifosi sceicchi sunniti salafiti, la solita fola della pace in Medio Oriente e 300 miseri milioni per sconfiggere la fame nel mondo...
Intanto qualche centinaia di migranti spariva tra le onde nel mediterraneo, un paio di decine di ragazzini saltavano in aria durante un concerto a Manchester e gli affamati si attestano ancora sui 750 milioni di persone...
