Lyrics
Come to America
And work your whole life
we’re all just rats inside a twisted maze
where profit is time
Fill me with chemicals
And sell me a cure
we're all just little plastic piggies
that don’t know what were worth
Around this world we go
climbing up that rope
They let you die slow
you pay them what you owe
pray to Americana
life in America
Pray to Americana
Life in America
pray to Americana
life in America
pray to Americana
Life in America
come see the carnival (gather around and watch the rich eat the poor)
we’ll laugh at the poor
they all dance in desperation
watch them crawl on the floor
you stole the fruits of my own labor
I’ve got nothing left to give
Could you please give me some shelter
I’ve got nowhere to live
Around this world we go
climbing up that rope
They let you die slow
You pay them what you owe (But please pay Before you go)

Roe’s consistent anti-capitalist messaging is always a treat :D

[@manuelsilva9979]

I'm a hard ass libertarian pro capitalism and free markets, but i love his music

[@elmist_]

@@manuelsilva9979 cool, I wasn’t bashing you, I was simply highlighting a consistent messaging in his songs. Maybe read into the lyrics a little more?

[@thegoldenticket6130]

It's funny because the people can change it but don't know they can, there was a reason why we have our rights too and people want to come over here, we just have to stop fighting eachother and see who's causing the divide

[@BWFun-he7dm]

I hope you're okay. Don't kill yourself, we need you on the frontlines in the fight against capitalism. You're worthy of life. This system is not conducive for life.

[@zephusdarkside3652]

Don't forget if you consume the wrong content or say the wrong words you get thrown away to work for free!! Big daddy govvy wants to get names and addresses from youtube to prevent "dangerous" people!!

[@Bardo429]

For someone that is proudly exercising their freedom of speech you sure do hate your country

[@kyakibo]

I mean- It's kinda accurate to what's going on to the young generation of America though- It's hard for people in their 20s-30s to find a place to live on their own. They're trying to make a statement on that I believe. Also the place to live- thats just where I live in the US, but I'm not sure about other places, it's also hard to make substantial income to survive-

[@mentally_and_physically_un6757]

Do you really think that the united states is the only place that allows freedom of speech? I feel bad for you if you think that. That means you’ve been gas lit your whole life because the united states is actually ranked 23rd for quality of life, meaning there are 22 other countries better ranked.

[@elmist_]

Brain dead criticism, he hasn’t even talking about freedom of speech. Criticizing your country doesn’t mean you hate it. Criticize it because you love it, and you want it to be better.

[@mongothemidget]

Now on repeat in my car

[@user-kq1ga4bk6s]

I am so glad people are finally seeing what I've been saying for years 🥲 ...now what do we do? 😅
