Across Our Savanna
From shore to shore coast to coast
We’re the nation with the most
The most of what well lets just see
We lead in infidelity
We lead in sin that is for sure
Pay on Sunday is the cure
I think about our Countries plight
Seems like we have lost all sight
We’re founded in the name of God
Best not be the lightening rod
When lightening strikes it is no joke
Some bears weren’t meant to poke
We poke God every single day
Have no doubt that we will pay
We can’t just mold and bend his word
Expect our prayers to be heard
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
Words cast out unto the wind
It’s best to live the words you pray
Walking the walk as they say
The Lord gives he can take away
Listen to these words I say
Like monkeys swinging from the trees
We keep doing as we please
One day across our Savanna
Yes, we have no bananas
My punch line is, "Yes, we have no bananas."
All I can say is I tried.
