This is not a test, not true, this kind of is a test of our endurance
There's really no one left to place the blame on and hang in effigy
This was not ruined by a regime, it also took a hundred million
Of angry, stupid, scared, pathetic populace to complete the deed

And it's a long, long way down
And there's no climbing back, so wave bye bye
And it's a long, long free dive
So fill your lungs with air and grab a weight
It's been a long time coming and well deserved

It's time to redefine what we call neighborhoods
And start to trust your neighbors
Circle the figurative wagons and figure it's gonna be
A long painful de-evolution that could last for decades
America as we know it, is finished, fermenting and flailing

And it's a long, long way down
The parachutes are gone, so grab a smoke
And it's a long, long free fall
No signs of soft landing, bon grave voyage
It's been a long time coming and well deserved

    Our culture and economic climate has been bastardized so many times over, that we should have all seen this coming. But here we are, on our way down. Fat Mike did a great job of capturing the moment. It wasn't long after I heard this song that I lost my job. It's been a struggle ever since. But who gives a shit, right? We all have everything we need to survive on this planet anyway. So let's all enjoy a smoke, watch the whole thing fall and celebrate. Let's face it, most of us are just glorified slaves anyway. The structure of our little society is outdated and boring. I believe we can do better. I don't think 9/11 fits in this song because a failed America was going to happen sooner or later anyway.
