Would you like to know the true me?
The side of me that you'll never see.
I am bitter, and angry, and work everyday.
But isn't that the American way?
To kill each other, your brother, your mother, your son.
To one up each other, to load the gun.
To insure peace but dropping bombs on our neighbors.
To kill ourselves with the stress of our labor.
We put our happy mask's on and forget our troubles.
But the disguise wont stay when emotions bubble.
Is this really a way to live?
To never take but always give.
Give to society, your deity, the poverty, ones loved.
To set standards high, and others above.
This is the true American way.
To always dismiss, and to always pay.
