American Dream from Ecosteria by Lucid Nation

American Dream

Hurry up hesitate
you know you're already late
hate the never ending wait
dying honeybees upstate

The prime rate stuck in a crate
aggravates the crime rate
relate to the fate
you berate to sedate

Infuriate the lightweight
negate the fake turnover date
made it across the Bering Strait
but couldn’t escape the welfare state

Hurry up hesitate
you know that you’re already late

Tolerate the public debate
about how to procreate
ingratiate to insinuate
deviate then compensate

More pompous than Pompey the Great
a running mate with real estate
fear is the engine of fate he sneers
eating everything on our plate

Obliterate the dictate
of the irritated straight
eliminate the police state
and don’t forget to open the gate

Hurry up hesitate
you know that you’re already late

Exaggerate to humiliate
incorporate the boiler plate
accumulate the fourth estate
contaminate the candidate

Nominate, gold plate
narrate to manipulate
deactivate, liquidate
and take the fifth if they investigate

Obliterate the dictate
of the irritated straight
eliminate the police state
and don’t forget to open the gate

Hurry up hesitate
you know that you’re already late
eliminate the police state
and don’t forget to open the gate
