When I’m feeling down, I distract myself with junk food, and stay up too late
When America’s feeling down we distract ourselves, with political panderers preaching hate
Either way the result is the same, the next morning we’re bloated and guilty
Is this the best person or the best country, I or we can be?
How low will it take us, what will we ignore, and what mistakes will we make again
will other people and countries just reject us; will we alienate all who were friends
In the end will we see ourselves, as clearly as we needed to see?
Is this the best person or the best country, I or we can be?
Can we do it, can we rise above petty fears, and the gridlock of lethargy and legislatures?
Is there someplace within, where we’ve already been, to find the better angels of our nature?
Or is this as good as it gets, before the storm that sweeps us to extinction
Will we get a failing grade; will we just squeak by or will we pass with distinction
Stick around I guess we’ll find out, where the future will lead you and me
Is this the best person or the best country, I or we can be?
