Fountainhead

The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Russian-American author Ayn Rand, her first major literary success. The novel's protagonist, Howard Roark, is an intransigent young architect who battles against conventional standards and refuses to compromise with an architectural establishment unwilling to accept innovation. Roark embodies what Rand believed to be the ideal man, and his struggle reflects Rand's belief that individualism is superior to collectivism. Roark is opposed by what he calls "second-handers", who value conformity over independence and integrity. These include Roark's former classmate, Peter Keating, who succeeds by following popular styles but turns to Roark for help with design problems.

Welcome to the Melting Pot!
You are all now participants
You shall be a rich king, and richer, more powerful kings shall be above you
You shall now be a peasant, and peasants who are poorer and weaker than you shall be Beneath you
For this is the AmeriKKKan Dream
And in dreams anything can change
But the rules of the game will forever be the same

On my North American Drift
The Land of Melting Pot and the Home of the Plot Twist
The gifted and uplifted, downtrodden and graveyard shifted
Security code encrypted, A1 steak sauce marinated briskets
Season pass tickets and labels that say "Explicit"
NAFTA, RICO, Watergate, Whitewater
Red tape, white collar, blue collar, fluorodized water
Is what I was drinkin down on the bayou
Oh me oh my-o, we all wanna go viral
Once upon a trend everybody wanted tribals
Jesus had a zodiac and that's 12 disciples
An astrologer wrote the bible
Time plus space makes a spiral, and here I go
I grew up on some crops from South America
Vietnam war movies and Erykah Badu
On K104, in 817 and 214
But I was from the 806 before that
I grew up where the pump the black gold
Yeah, olil that is, Texas tee...you know
Halliburton and the Bush boys, blood money in the dirt
That's where everybody that I went to school with works
Rig it up and pick it up
Get it while it's pumping
If they ain't yelling money then they ain't yelling nothing 

The AmeriKKKan Way
I wanna go to Disney World and Las Vegas
Democracy and wages, bureaucracy and cages
The AmeriKKKan Way
I wanna be on magazine covers and front pages
Aristocracy and races, hypocrisy and mazes

That's how it was told to me so that's how I tell it you
A legend or is it true
Cocaine residue
On a little piece of cotton with a picture of a half-forgotten president
Who's the alien, who's the resident
A long story of natives and invaders
After while crocodile, later alligator
Either one'll bite you, samurai sword slice you
Five syllables here
And seven syllables here
Makes a good haiku
Doesn't it, but that's some other shit
This was 'posed to be about Hollywood and the government
The dollar stores and the malls
The rises and falls
Bull market, bear market
Margin calls, prison walls
In a garden of variety, smorgasbord society
Vitamins and vinyls and rifles and old rivalries
But we keep living together and getting something 
If you ain't yelling out money, you ain't yelling nothin

The AmeriKKKan Way
I wanna go to Disney World and Las Vegas
Democracy and wages, bureaucracy and cages
The AmeriKKKan Way
I wanna be on magazine covers and front pages
Aristocracy and races, hypocrisy and mazes
