I’d rather be wealthy than healthy.
I’d rather be lucky than wise.
Book learnin’ page turnin’ grade earnin’,
would surely be hard on my eyes.
So I choose to sit here on my sofa,
right in front of my high def. T.V.,
with a cat in my lap, watching hours of crap,
getting up on occasion to pee.
Yes I’m an American modern;
the son of a man who worked hard,
so that I could sit here with a cooler of beer,
while the dog shit piles up in my yard.
Yes, I’m an American modern,
and I live the American dream,
eating Big Mac’s and fries, while absorbing the lies,
fast becoming as dumb as I seem.
