Cubic Zarconia with fake gold bands,
election ballots with just one man,
your medical record with the wrong file,
brutal police courtsey, service with a smile.

$18.99 for your favorite CD that never plays,
the emergency brake for your car that never stays,
explaining a point that is always moot,
aiming a gun that doesn't shoot.

Robbing a bank that is lacking cash,
smoking a joint that has no hash,
going to a boxing match with canceled fights,
getting arrested when you have no right.

And people think America is bad?
