Downside of the Boom

We’re all facing the same disease
That led to this idiocracy
It’s not the virus that’s on TV
It’s the myth of the American dream
Everyone move over, everyone make room
We’re on the downside of the boom

From blind, benign patriotic crackpots
To malignant nationalistic rot
It’s a land of manifest destiny
That salutes a whitewashed history
We’re running on empty, on our last fumes
We’re on the downside of the boom

The shining city on the hill
Is swallowing a bitter pill
Yet there are zealots that refuse to see
The broken promise of the American dream
But now the chickens have come home to roost
We’re on the downside of the boom

I fear the worst is yet to come
Change is hard and not for everyone
So buckle down and hold on tight
I hope we make it through the night
You can feel the sense of impending doom
We’re on the downside, heading on the downslide
Everyone move over, everyone make room
We’re on the downside of the boom
