Pardon Me, But I'M New To This Land
Pardon me, but I'm new to this Land
I was told to rein in my tongue
Or I'd be called racist and tossed in the can
Pardon me, but I'm new to this Land
I was told in public places not to pray
Unless I'm Muslim, Buddhist or stray* *homeless or
schizophrenic
Pardon me, but I'm new to this Land
I was told the policeman's not my friend
Though I saw one a murderer apprehend
Pardon me, but I'm new to this Land
I was told that I'd never need work
Uncle Sam will pay me all work to shirk
Pardon me, I'm new to this Land
But there is one thing I now understand ~
Why its citizens mock a flag once-so-grand
