America

You brought us the a-bomb In so many ways endorsed by God and The Book So God loves a war monger? Hey Mr.Blix: forget Iraq and the time it took 'Cause I know just where to look "could we have a vote please?" They came with a song, America They wouldn't stay long, America We are America God bless America God bless America and Capitol Hill 'Cause no one else will So now you are scared The arabs will kill for their god Like you do for yours? Protect your obesity with your life man Hey, Angry God or Diet Coke? Who cares it's all a joke "Heil homo pecuniae" Saving us yet another time Earning a buck on every dime Sick of America Sick of America Sick of America and Capitol Hill Moving in for the next kill Did you say "I love you"? A simpler democracy Where every flaw and failure is called a "Right" A new form of freedom Based on your income, your color, creed And your choice of gun But it provides great fun "Dr. Phil or Oprah?" "Letterman or Leno?" "Idol or Big Brother?" [we'll be back after this short break] It could have been good America It could have been great America Land of the brave and free Welcoming you and me But this Brave New World is not as new anymore Each day a new store Each year a new war While chosen whites rule the poor In America Oh America Don't you walk out on me Just wait a second now Please hear me out Oh I'll do my best to love you Oh yes I will I know you're out there C'mon Raise your voices Don't let them ruin your reputation Don't let them wreck your constitution Not out of fear Not out of greed But you had a good run America Your day in the sun America Hello British Empire Hello Roman Empire Hello Soviet There is a new kid in town Joining the gone down Finding what you found Treading your worn, worn down ground Rise to your former glory Be brave and warm Oh America If I say I love you If I say I love you If I say I love you Dare you love me too? --- America - Pain of Salvation
