this was something i wrote many years ago for a project that i worked on with the amazing Dante Conte. Sadly it never took off but thought it was worth posting. hope you dig it.
American
Dream
Hello
I’m
Joe Average
and
I’m dreaming
of
Vego Nazis scheming
of
walls of breasts streaming
Cadallac
carnivores can chew on my bones
drowning
in lollipop lads
and
retro fashion exploitation fads
just
give me the good hard fax
a
keep Pamela Anderson from getting flat tax
turn
on, tune in, shoot up, the American Dream
keep
me from all that’s clean and sober and reeks of academe
give
me cologne de’ Clint Eastwood tough
I
bet the Statue of Liberty likes it rough
this
land is your bland
from
the thighmaster land
to
the inner child fat gland
think
locally, rape globally
Mentos,
the brain wash maker
give
me another shot at Drew Barrymore’s puberty or give me death
stay
true to the night of the next Mike Tyson ear bite fight
snap,
crackle, pop, let the shadows blow away another president, oh what a relief
from freedom it is
burn,
baby, burn all the discos with sterno
love
me legal tender, love me until my credit card limit is through
put
our laws in a convenient blender, maybe the presidential cat will get eaten by
an Arab killer shrew
living
at the YMCIA crack den
GI
Joe just married Ken
the
American dream is a child not a voice
so
the next time you choke on that Ronald Reagon burger rejoice
live
free or French frie
live
free or French frie
Yours in dated social political satire,
Count Robot
