My Country’Tis of Thee
My country tis of thee
No longer fulfilling the right of democracy
Welfare dependent states
No longer a working wage
Crimes at a ultimate high
To this we see
Land where we welcome fright
It is a terrorists grand delight
Our land they make their own
America is no longer our sheltered home
Our soldiers fought and died
And to everyone our leaders lied
It’s clear as day you see
Citizens are not as free as they believed
Our soldiers fought for more you see
They sacrificed everything
Stood proudly on that frontline
And without a shadow of doubt
Gladly laid down their lives forethought
For you and me to be free
Where is that patriotic glee
from the higher ups set to lead
Instead of doing all of us honestly
They halted all the freedoms
That were fought for and won by our sons
And our daughters blood heroically
Something here is wrong you see
Big money stealing our Liberties
Including , but not limited to, our social securities
The temptation of corruption is too strong
Our leaders have lost their way, it's all choices, all of them wrong
Once just a tamper here or there
To full blown treasonous actions and acceptable incompetence
It’s become an allowable way of governing the USA
Decisions are for sale
Doesn’t matter from where you hail
Your currency is accepted in here in the great Washington DC
America are you still here?
Can't you see
Somewhere cast aside in a shadowy slide
Lie our citizens freedoms, history and public safety
In a grave, underneath layers of
Theft, illegal trades and bribery
Broken promises that were spoken publicly
Seems to be role of presidency
My country tis of thee
No longer a land of Liberty
