tiny trees

I don't want to think about
psychopathic tendencies
that I'm sure to find
inside of me
or news about the situation
with our brand new racist administration
I want to think whatever I please
Bob Ross paintings with those tiny trees
but here I am
21st century
and the question gets louder every year
how the hell did we get here?
how the hell did we get here?
how the hell did we get here?

give me facebook
give me twitter
social media for my babysitter
shiny toys with foreign glitter
I ain't bitter, no
I ain't bitter
I'm American and it's plain to see
everything needs to revolve around me
everything must obey
the almighty dollar in the USA
but here we are 
21st century
asking the same question every year
how the hell did we get here?
how the hell did we get here?
how the hell did we get here?

          most people work their lives away
          while the economy collapses
          I've even heard some presidents
          don't even have to pay their taxes

how the hell did we get here?
how the hell did we get here?
how the hell did we get here?
