American Pride

White nights, black days Humanity as we know it, deceased? Gods creatures have converted to greed Strange days, stranger nights indeed The day after holds only truth The day before only lies Oh, that good old American pride Death is easy, it's harder to live So let's stop taking revenge and start to forgive Up in smoke, a ring of fire Fortune and fame is society's desire Money and morals start to collide Oh, that good old American pride Politician's filth, exploiters of the poor Religions unite to help start a war What if we had no religion to die for? Why not hear the silent man's cry Oh, that good old American pride
