The children of the future speak to us now (and no, they're not telling you to vote for Obama; most of these things will happen no matter whom you vote for).

Imagine an America

Where strip mines are fun and free

Where gays can be fixed

And sick people just die

And oil fills the sea

We don’t have to pay for freeways!

Our schools are good enough

Give us endless wars

On foreign shores

And lots of Chinese stuff

We’re the children of the future

American through and through

But something happened to our country

And we’re kinda blaming you

We haven’t killed all the polar bears

But it’s not for lack of trying

Big Bird is sacked

The Earth is cracked

And the atmosphere is frying

Congress went home early

They did their best we know

You can’t cut spending

With elections pending

Unless it’s welfare dough

We’re the children of the future

American through and through

But something happened to our country

And we’re kinda blaming you

Find a park that is still open

And take a breath of poison air

They foreclosed your place

To build a weapon in space

But you can write off your au pair

It’s a little awkward to tell you

But you left us holding the bag

When we look around

The place is all dumbed down

And the long term’s kind of a drag

We’re the children of the future

American through and through

But something happened to our country

And yeah, we’re blaming you

You did your best

You failed the test

Mom and Dad

We’re blaming you!
