America

America Land of the free Home of the brave Sometimes it deceives Sometimes can amaze Land of the free Or Home of the crazed Is truth important Or do you live in a haze People are dying But the leaders don’t care They make pretty speeches But their actions lay bare JFK and Martin Luther King Larger than life But can no longer bring Truth to a nation That was built on a dream That all men are equal But that just makes me scream A people so proud Of it’s Anthem and flag Surrounded by government Who’s ass’s are dragged Helps other countries In their hours of need But won’t help their own To grow and succeed A gun can be bought At your local store The American dream ? Do people want more God bless America And all who live there Politicians favourite line But do think that they care ? Things that amaze me About the United States It's people’s belief in it Never seems to abate Preachers on TV Who preach the good word Living like rockstars Now that’s just absurd Sport stars are treated Like they’re some kind of God For playing a game On hardwood or sod Bankers and financers You seem to regale When some of their asses Should probably be jailed But God bless America And the American dream For those in glass houses Should be quiet And not seen
