broken teeth and bad dreams
a handful of blood
America, because of you I have pain in my eyes
a blistering tongue
sadness in every vein
America, because of you my wife is dead
she couldn't bear the guilt
she crumbled to dust
America, you stole everything from the soil
to grow the tree

Did YOU personally do that to them? No. Do you feel bad about it? No. AMERICANS are not to blame. Policies are. A new and better President is in and is trying to fix the mess. Know how he got in? ELECTION! Free country dude.
Because of America, your parents have jobs here in Canada.
Because of America, you don't have polio.
Because of America, we have the AC and DC current elec-fucking-tricity.
