The righteous empire of America
Is wrong and bound to fall
I hang out at the bookstore
Watch some basketball

Friedrich Nietzsche today
And a little Johnny Cash
Spring and summer rolls
The beauty of her ***

America is ignorance
But also Susan Meek
Also Alex Nava
Also hide and seek

I take the long term view
I wait and walk and wonder
In the cemetery
I hear the rolling thunder
