God Save America

Take the knife out our backs
We were blind but now we see
The visions of peace and prosperity
Has fallen to pieces
So take the knife out or backs
and quit lying

Blind but now we see
Country's wars and hate, and poverty
it's too much for just us
it's all over
you let it happen
you let this develop
this land is no longer peaceful
it's your hell
so take the knives out of our backs
the pain out of our hearts
the war that didn't need to start
your fault
your promises not kept 
your fault

God Save America from this one man
God save America from that one man

He ruined what we once had 
They, they ruined what we once had
So take this knife out our backs 
and stop
God save us

God save America
Once a beautiful land
Now Europe's used wasteland
God Save America from those men
The men
The goverment.
