Man Fuck America

There are some songs which make you want to go home, put on that vynal, roll an extreamly shitty joint with swag, lay on the floor wearing earphones, smoke with the windows open and pump your fist in the air as you cry the lyrics soo loud and passionately. Whats yours?

For me its Mrs. Robinson
Album: Simonadn Garfunkle live in Central Park

The weather helps a lot too!

So I'm listening to the song America

Lyrics

’let us be lovers we’ll marry our fortunes together’
’I’ve got some real estate here in my bag’
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and mrs. wagner pies
And we walked off to look for america
’kathy,’ I said as we boarded a greyhound in pittsburgh
’michigan seems like a dream to me now’
It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw
I’ve gone to look for america

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said ’be careful his bowtie is really a camera’

’toss me a cigarette, I think there’s one in my raincoat’
’we smoked the last one an hour ago’
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

’kathy, I’m lost,’ I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why
Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
They’ve all gone to look for america
All gone to look for america
All gone to look for america

This song makes me think of the current state I'm in. The lyric "we've all gone to look for America" describes my life lately. Lately I've had this hard feeling that I belong to a country that doesn't exist. Don't get me wrong, I love where I live just as much, if not more than the Average Joe. But fuck the current state of America and Americans.
