War

The people of America talking to America...
Are we a real family
Or just one up for show?
Do we act the way we should,
Or just the way we know?

Is it fair to say,
We try our very best?
Though we do try,
We're no better then the rest.

I'm sorry but I don't understand,
Why we cheat and lie,
We're evil and convinced,
And good things pass us by.

I remember once,
A long time ago,
We were really, truly, happy,
It could have been a dream though.

Through all the fights we've had,
Did we leave ourselves behind?
I don't remember anymore,
The last time you were kind.
