...and we call ourselves great
We were a land of majesty
We had perfect mountains, deserts, and oceans that gleamed
We were a land of beauty
Endless forests, lakes, and streams
And we call ourselves great
We became a place of diversity
We soon welcomed Irish, African, and Chinese
We are a nation of blended colors
Black, white and some of these
And we call ourselves great
We chopped down trees
We turned clear oceans brown
We torpedoed our neighbors
Not caring who we put down
And we call ourselves great
We created free speech
We always abuse it
We say what we want
We have not learned how to use it
And we call ourselves great
We are a now generation
We need everything now
We have 5 second time limits
Food, Internet, and cashiers best take less than POW
And we call ourselves great
We have no need for consideration
We have more important things to do
We pass the homeless person
To go buy our Nike shoes
And we call ourselves great?
