We Are America
The backbone of America is broken
But that doesn't keep her from finger pointing
In her judgment and her blaming
And all her self-righteous shaming
America once stood strong and tall
Clearly hands above them all
Too much pride can lead to shame
Tossing humbleness in the grave
America is walking with a limp
Tripping on the dark secrets she has kept
But all secrets eventually come to light
Have we all signed on Satan's dotted line
Has America lost her sight
Now that we find her justice blind
Finders keep and losers weep
Have we lost all humanity
America needs her mouth washed out with soap
From the words that she lets go
With much to do about nothing
She really thinks she's on to something
Can America get back on her feet
I believe that's up to you and me
Put a love brace on all that's broken
And stop with all the finger-pointing
