2. Get your lyrics here!
New America by Bad Religion
(Yeah so it's an average song off of one of their worst albums, but it fits the topic)

Do you know the cost of future misery?
Have you lost your sense of sustainability?
We are just a step away
From realizing what we strive to be
But we’ve got to break out
From this insulated, blind and lame senility

Wake up the new america wo-oh!
Transcend the mass hysteria wo-oh!
Change is the thing you’re wary of wo-oh!
We need a new america wo-oh!

Laurels, human triumph
Bestowments from the past
Victories don’t mean a thing
If they don’t last
We are just marching toward extinction
With blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything
We’ve learned and come to realize
You call that wise?

Open your eyes america wo-oh!
See through the lies they tell to us wo-oh!
Confront the fears that worry us wo-oh!
We need a new america wo-oh!

We don’t have to be afraid to re-invent
We’ve got to start to build
Progress and implement
For when we take our fill
And never pay the price
We only build ourselves
A fleeting, false paradise

You can live in staunch denial
And mark me as your enemy
But I’m just a voice among the throng
Who want a brighter destiny
They say with me
We are the new america wo-oh!
This is the new america? wo-oh

3. I think we should split it into two Americas.
One America could be for those of us who want peace and prosperity for everyone and the unredeemable RWingers can have the other America the way they want it. Of course they will only get one state because that's how few Americans really do believe in fascism, eugenics and social Darwinism.

4. This is the America we want, peeled and naked like an onion....
For years we have ignored the braking down of class structure in our country. We've had a fake democracy ran by the rich white elites. The rich got richer and the poor just die. The middle class has disappeared and the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
