A song that takes a shallow look at the views, stereotypes, and realities of our beloved America, both negative and positive.

Alternative White Pianist-Rapper
Hey. My name is Peter "Po" Smeallie. I used to perform in a band known as "Chameleon" back in middle school and high school. After that, I started making some tunes that incorporate rap lyrics, rock, and some jazz/pop. For the most part, much of my songs are either renditions of older songs or stream-of-consciousness raps.

Story behind the song
Debut "rap-rock" song my band Chameleon back in our last year together performed at a public venue. I also performed it solo (as just a rap song) a year later at that same venue.
Lyrics
Verse 1 aren't you all a fan of the American dream? to live your life easily like peaches and cream? to never lift a finger but to earn big bills? and own three mansions on the top of two hills? to party all night and to rock all day? to surf...to fish in the sea or the bay? cause happiness is found like a needle in the hay and only Apple I Pods keep the doctors away so here's to those divas soaking up in the sun. or guys who think Girls Gone Wild is fun. we got corn syrup in soda, and ethanol in gas got more green in the oil than we got in the grass so ditch the life raft and learn to swim learn to play poker and learn to win learn to pop pills when your life isn't fun cause society frowns on your own depression forget guns....forget jacks and booze forget big macs and chinese food cause everyday we know the media's magic it like...shocks us with electric static so go bleed like a worm when a fish sees a line cause every regular dame is a silver dime and as you sit there watching commercials for lite beers wonder to yourself, "are we living the right years?" Chorus (3 times) It's just a view from....from the ocean I can't tell anything cause the waves in motion but as I look over there and see the land in sight I know to myself...something isn't right! Verse 2 here's a little message for the red, white, and blue a little twist and turn on what's real and what's true reality comes blended like a chopped fruit smoothie blown up in proportions like an imax movie we got brittany spears...shaving her head and 32 lives cut short by hot lead it seems every single person every single resident bashes our US president it seems to be....no it happens to be we can't escape any bits of tragedy immigration, abortion, and wars on oil the kind of rough shit that makes your blood boil we got heat in the winter and cold in the spring and though we got the wake up call we don't hear the ring are we so deaf that we just can't hear? or filled with NOTHING but PAIN and FEAR?!!
