America Will Eat You
greg brown
~~
There's only so many times you can eat that rubber food
'Till You're gonna say, Well, I'm eating it.
I guess it must be good
There's only so many times you can sit and watch tv-- Stay detached and think it's stupid and that you're somehow free
America will eat you
America will eat you up.
There's only so many times you can be treated like dirt at the airport or the bank
'Til you're gonna say, Yeah, you're right I'm a bum I'm a dog I'm a roach
Thank you Thank you Thanks
Only so many times you can see some slick jerk rave about God
'Til you're gonna give it up and go to sleep and slip into a pod--
We're tempting little morsels on the corporation's fork If we show up with the right bits and bytes, they'll fatten us like pork
And America will stretch her maw and show us her white teeth
It's only when it's much too late we see the cancer underneath
Everything has a number
We all must drink our cup
All I ask is to know when my number's up
Looking at these corpses talk and laugh it up on tv
All I want is to never have to ask, Lord, which corpse is me?

welcome to division cheat. if i use percentages to make
the width flexible, it causes sidescrolling in various flavors of mac browser, & opera.
if i simply have one line of text going the whole way across, it expands
without complaint. no, it's not compliant. and bite me.
