Actionslacks - This Damn Nation lyrics

I can hear this country cryin' Three hundred million tears For some Super Bowl commercial That's gonna banish all its fears My TV spews fake emotions So saccharine I could choke They call this entertainment This drama is a joke Yeah, this damn nation is a sentimental fool Who's weepin' while there's work to do Yeah, this damn nation, aw, ya know I do adore I'm just lookin' for a little more We got greeting-card emotion 'Cause we can't express ourselves I won't tell you to your face But I'll call you on my cell We got bumper sticker potshots And we hide behind our screens You can say anything you want Just don't talk to me Yeah, this damn nation is a spoiled little child Selfish, unrepentant, and wild Yeah, this damn nation, oh, ya know I do adore I'm just lookin' for a little more Yeah, this damnation, this indictment is a prayer And in my mind no flags are burned But "American popular culture," my friend Is a contradiction in terms We got twelve-year-olds conditioned Sex and violence every day We got kids thinkin' they're freaks 'Cause they're not getting laid And don't talk about the airwaves 'Cause I can't hold back the tears All the bands that could save your life You will never hear Yeah, this damn nation, it leaves me so uninspired Disappointed, sad, and tired Yeah, this damn nation, oh, ya know I do adore I'm just lookin' for a little more Yeah, this damnation, this indictment is a prayer And my country, 'tis of thee I sing And American popular culture can't be dead 'Cause there is no such thing
