American Over-Eater
am i an addict
am i obsessive with the spoils pursuing profit and american way
am i obsessive compulsive
metaphorically sugar coating what i do so i can sleep away
over indulgence
corrosive recipe for a man and that man's decline
dress up poor monkeys
make them look like butt holes on the boob tube
humans say all the lines
are we a bull in the china shop
do we stop
capital gain while the wealth won't one dollar drop
reach our long fingers around the world
so we can shop in other countries
but still feel like we are home
wreaking unintended havoc under the terror dome
am i an addict
oh i see you don't pretend don't pretend that you're not staring at
a vivid example of empire now bloated up and full of fat
busting at the britches pressure drop pull apart seams
insuring profit mongers of acquisition driven dreams
are we a...
reach our long fingers around the world
so we can shop in other countries
but still feel like we're at home
wreaking unintended havoc under the terror dome
some people like to stand on the podium
act like they've done nothing wrong with a tv crew in tow
some people like to say no problem
then speak of orange alert to secure subtle control
some pimps they like the goofballs
some pimps like that pot
some call female ho if female want what pimp had got
if that's the case
some of it's learned from the smug look on big business's face
if big business the pimp are we just their whore
they reach in our pockets we're the working class poor
weasel in
feel the squeeze squeeze it dry
and then expand over seas
sqeeze it dry
am i an addict
am i obsessive with the spoils pursuing profit and american way
am i obsessive compulsive
metaphorically sugar coating what i do so i can sleep away
