The Way I Are

I think the song that most describes America right now is The Way I Are by Timberland. This song is about a couple in which the guy who "ain't got no money" and can't afford to buy expensive things for his girlfriend. The girl accepts the boy any way because "it don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best".

Americans today are too obsessed with money. A lot of  Americans are tetering on the edge of financial crisis because of this and have to find a way to live through it. People have to learn to live and "work without the perks, just you and me" in order to save themselves from financial debt. It also applies to the USA as a whole because of the economic crisis that it is in now. The only way to get out of it is to work on it together and give up some of the perks that America has now.

Americans as well are too focused on earning money in their lives to satisfy all of their wants. Americans are always after imediate gratification and material objects while they lose sight of what really matters. The love of money is the root of all evil, and Americans need to realize that there are more important things in life than  money. I think this song greatly outlines this because it shows how love dominates money. The girl gets over the money obsession because "together we can be the perfect soul mates". She gives up what she thinks is important for what really matters : love.
