The Nigerian Dream (National Anthem Revised)
Arise, O compatriots, 
Let’s come together to build the broken walls,
Arise, your sinking ship for safety calls;
Let’s rebuild our heroes’ humble halls.

Nigeria's call obey,
Like a baby she yearns and yells for succor;
The spears and swords of war grieves her sour,
Let arise to save her heart...

"National Anthem USA"
Hands to hearts with baseball capped compassion 
We swear on a timeless treasure of freedom
Asking new artists every time to hit the tender spot of America
They beg for the chance to sing the Francis Scott Key to our hearts
 
Rebellious revolutionary days forced...

The Barbarian National Anthem
Take your freedom and life
Rule out justice and rights
Then we have barbarian ways
Of controlling the world

Our true role is to enslave you
In our economic dominance
To divide and conquer all
In propaganda and war...

African Anthem , Proposed To Be the National Anthem of the African Union
Africa the Holy garden 
protected by Angels

Africa the Holy garden 
blessed by God,

Africa of pure waters
And more natural resources, 

Africa of more plants 
and arable soil,

Africa of good weather, 
fauna  and flora 

Africa which welcomes 
all the visitors 

"Know yourselves Africans, 
Knowing  yourselves Africans"

The God...

The National Anthem But Add Capitalism
Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
The bags in my eyes
For I can't sleep through the night
I've been working to death 
And I have coffee breath
And I constantly feel
Like I've been chained to my desk...

Premium Member Povertys National Anthem
Slender man walking a dusty, country road,  
Clothing on his back dirty, ragged, and worn,   
Had been cruelly bullied, poked and ridiculed,    
Felt like the dirt under his worn-out brogan shoes.   

Huge tears falling from his wrinkled,...

National Anthem, Revised
It's our national song
But the words are all wrong
'Cause it sings about war and the glaring of rockets.
So I'll write words quite new
But I haven't a clue
Just some pieces of lyrics I crammed in my pockets.

And this part is too high
For the average guy
Each time...

Tragic End of National Anthem
Na shaad na baad na azmey aleshaan
Na akhovat na hamdardi Pakistan ka nizaam
Har ja har so badmashon ka istaqbaal
Thano kacheriyon adalton me chalta hai maal
Ye afsoos ka maqaam kahan hai saya zuljalaal?
Note. Na Zindagi shama ki sorat na naiki ki tamana
Jahalat Kay andheray mein har...

Ukranian National Anthem

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

1. Ukraine is not yet dead,
nor its glory and freedom,
Luck will still smile on us,
young brothers.
Our enemies will vanish,
as the dew does in the sunshine,
and we, brothers,
will be masters in our own land.

CHORUS:
We'll put the soul, the body
for our freedom
and we'll show...

Lift Every Voice
Lift ev'ry voice and cry
While all our children die
Raise up the deaf'ning sigh of misery
Let all the people hear
With ever-sharpened ear
How we have lost our dignity and pride
Long ago, we had community others desired
Long ago, we had prosperity to be admired
We never raised our hand
To...

It's Not Alright
Beautiful black woman Angela Davis
Stood by herself
At the 50 yard line
A football crooked on a tee
At her feet

Waiting

And she sang the national anthem
To an empty stadium
In perfect pitch.

When her deep voice soared and hit
That line about rockets and red glare
There was no cheer
Like a hanger...
