~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Help me title this song! Pick either a) Americans Just Wanna Have Fun, b) A Day in the Life (of an American), c) Learning to Fly a Plane on YouTube, or d) NPR Taught Me to Hate America.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

lyrics

Today I heard the news and had a thought
Something about this might make a good song
People doing stupid shit and getting away with it
In America, we can do whatever we want

We can use a 3D printer to make guns
Anyone can do it if they have the funds
The ammo's hard to find and the guns blow up sometimes
But Americans, they just wanna have fun

Just because you can doesn't mean you should
"American" is not a synonym for "good"
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
"American" is not a synonym for "good"

If you're bored at work and wanna do stupid shit
You can go on YouTube and learn how to do it
But maybe don't fly a plane if you haven't been properly trained
Well the news reporters are happy to get paid

Money is the root of all evil
Greed is the trunk of the money tree
The branches are made from hate and oppression
The leaves are all hypocrisy

I'm not proud to be an American
I don't think we should respect all opinions
The rich people insist on runnin' everythin'
As Americans, well, most of us are powerless

I read the news today, oh shit!
