The stars and stripes hold the power Crowned by the world as most powerful nation But when I stare at their reflection I see poverty, I see war, and I see egotism Innovation and development for every price indeed the price is high you hold the key to your own happiness Easy to say when you were born with a gold spoon in your mouth The sad reality is the unfortunately peoplehave been forgotten No money for health insurances Can not afford school, or a home Now this selfishness is hurting the world Too busy with their own Not caring that they are slowly killing the world CO2 is an important matter And you dont even care Your'e suppose to be this super power Then take a step the right direction DearUnited states
