Generate meaning
1
White man in decline
2
With his thorny crown of empties
3
Wrapped "˜round his troubled mind
4
Sucking on his radio
5
Pacified by brainless rhetoric in patriotic code
6
With his mircrowavable last supper
7
And twelve of his friends
8
He lifts his wife up over his head before the Super Bowl begins
9
"Her body broken for you,
10
She'll beat black, she'll beat blue,
11
Let's hope our Cowboys come through"¦"
12
World won't change if he don't look
13
He's got his hand over his heart
14
And his head stuck up his hole
15
What does it profit a man
16
To gain the whole trailer park and lose his very soul?
17
Humming, "You Ain't Whistling Dixie," a distant look in his eye
18
The little pointed hood in the closet can't hide the cowardice inside
19
Now it's eating him alive
20
No last rights for naughty boys
21
Gather round the easy chair
22
See the white man in decline
23
Throwing tantrums on the floor
24
Of the Senate and the House
25
Holding his breath until he's blue
26
"Children of our mighty country, the poor have stolen your futures
27
Were gonna steal them back for you.
28
Come gather "˜round the banquet table, see how God is on our side"¦"
29
But when they carved up the turkey they found
30
Only stuffing inside
31
Pledge allegiance to his flag
32
Wrap it in a body bag"¦
33
See the white man in decline
34
Shhh"¦
