A.L.A. W.A.T. U. S.O.D.

What is up with America, now? It seems like Mike Judge is a prophet. His movie Idiocracy is right on point.
Is it just me?
Because...



I see a nation of individuality
with finger tip convenience for you and me
information screams availability
the rich use it for the things they need
they post pictures of the food they eat
and our attention span will never be
focused on our fraudulent society
Every moment is spent with your phone some way
With your eyes locked tight on your screen display
You need a GPS to drive a mile away
who keeps cryin' 'bout the teacher's pay
yeah no one listens to them anyway
cuz everybody's gotta text to make
while the need for education just fades away
They keep you distracted disabled and numb
They manifest reasons we need all these guns
A shell game of blame in a world which is run
By the folks who work hard each day
As they believe they should all get payed
To keep us guessing in a way that we all just stay dumb
As long as we all just stay dumb
and it's A.L.A.. W.A.T. U. S.O.D. now
Every headline speaks to your hostility
until you lose your mind and all your empathy
every glass is full of negativity
The middle class doesn't whine to be
Between a rock and all the irony
So far away from that money tree
But a little too close to the poverty
Every day is spent with your phone some way
With your eyes locked tight on your screen display
You need a GPS to walk a side walk straight
and who was cryin' about the teacher's pay
no one listens to them anyway
cuz everybody's gotta text to make
while the need for education just drifts away
They want you distracted disabled and numb
They manifest reasons we need all these guns
A shell game of blame in a world which is run
By the folks who work hard each day
As they believe they should all get payed
To keep us guessing in a way that we all just stay dumb
As long as we all just stay dumb
and it's A.L.A.. W.A.T. U. S.O.D. now
