Welcome to the new America
You may be Red
Or you may be Blue
But we're all Red, White, and Blue
True patriots!
Home sweet Homeland Security
and good fences make good neighbors
but nuclear weapons will clear out the whole neighborhood
Never mind the fallout
We all have our Potassium Iodide tablets
We wear our RFIDs proudly
Like American flag pins
We have nothing to hide
Scan our fingerprints
Scan our eyes
You won't find anything behind them but fear
We kill the new witches
The dangerous bitches
Who gather in covens singing songs, reading poems
And laughing
Who aren't afraid to see
Who aren't afraid to die
Who ask for
No blindfold and
Three cigarettes.
