united we lie

 we are we were we meant to be
 coerced now into liberty
 we're free to chose and free to lose
 and free to pay our increased dues
 from sea to shining growing sea
 a trending bit of travesty

 we were we weren't we didn't know
 and it was so damn long ago
 united we lie side-by-side:
 greed, sloth, avarice, and pride
 with envy as the star of show
 and each a highly paid all-pro

  this is this was this had to be
  united we lie

  blatantly
