Desaparecidos - The Happiest Place on Earth [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I want to pledge allegiance
To the country where I live
I don’t want to be ashamed to be American
But opportunity, no, it don’t exist
It’s the opiate of the populace
We need some harder shit now
The truth is getting around
And each public school is a halfway house
Where the huddled masses somber up and up

Enough?
There’s not enough to fatten
The cows and feed all of us
It’s just a rationing of luck
What can’t be bought gets raffled off

Oh God, good God
Shed greed on thee
Your shining sea turned
A dirty green from the industry
Off the shores of New Jersey

I got a letter from the army
So I think that I’ll enlist
I’m not brave or proud of nothing
I just want to kill something
Too bad that nowadays
You just point and click
Swing low satellite
Hot white chariot!

In the computer’s blue glare
The bombs burst in the air
There was a city once
Now nothing is there
Our freedom comes at their expense
It makes sense, doesn’t it?
Dollars and cents
They’re stretching barbed wire
Across the picket fence
That is surrounding your housing development
Just in case you lack the confidence

My God, oh God
Give strength to thee
These amber waves
Purple majesty
Are nothing but backdrops for Disney

Well, look up close
It is superimposed
On a blank blue screen
It is fantasy, fucking magical
The dream floats like a chemical
Through each snapped synapse
Our television past that is beautiful
No more, no more
