America, you appeared to me
in a wild stream of fever dreams
You had the body of a woman
and the head of a boar
You claimed you were the servant
of some unacknowledged Lord
You said:
โDonโt you understand
why Adam had to fall?
He didnโt read the memo
though it was posted to his wall
It said:
โNothing is quite as it seems
Red, white, and blue mustaches
painted on the Queenโ โ
โNothing is quite as it seems
Red, white, and blue mustaches
painted on the Queenโ โ

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henry David Thoreau
& Herman Mellvilleโs Ahab
found a whale inside their bones

Boys and girls, weโve got work to do
you know we donโt have very long
The digital-ized Apocalypse
sings its siren song
It goes:
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
America
It goes:
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
America
It goes:
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
America
