Let's Play U.S.A.
I found it!
The song that perfectly describes modern-day America!

It was written in 1989, by Peter Schilling

(LET'S PLAY) U.S.A. - by Peter Schilling

Where, oh where, is Mickey Mouse?
Alive and well in the White House.
What's the word on common sense?
It's been sitting on the fence.

Have you seen the mastermind?
Someone's bashed it from behind.
Leaders, saints and honest men.
What's become of them today?

Let's play...
U.S.A.
Let's play...
U.S.A.
How I love the life I lead.
Can not think and can not read.
Watch our values slip away,
Play the game of U.S.A.

Even though we lost the race
To get the first man into space,
We will be the first country
To run automatically.
Soon the robots we create
Will be starring on the Great White Way.

Let's play...
U.S.A.
Let's play...
U.S.A.
How I love the life I lead.
Can not think and can not read.
Watch our values slip away,
Play the game of U.S.A.

Won't it be a lot of fun,
Every man would own a gun.
Shoot the ones whose point of view
Makes a point that bothers you.

Go on and pollute the land,
Clean air will be sold in cans.
Did you hear the masterplan?
One nation under DisneyLand.

Let's play...
U.S.A.
Let's play...
U.S.A.
How I love the life I lead.
Can not think and can not read.
Watch our values slip away,
play the game of U.S.A.
