So you're tired of America
|
You're tired of having clothes to wear and shoes on your feet and enough to eat
|
You're fed up with the unpretendity to find a job and make at last a decent living
|
You wanna change it all revolutionize demonstrate march fight in the streets
|
And you want me to join you
|
Well we'd better stand upon our feet we'd better think before we speak
|
These are the things that make the nation weak
|
|
So you're sick of our flag to you the Red White and Blue no longer stands
|
Old Glory the symbol of freedom has lost its meaning
|
Bring old Glory down stop it burn it turn your back on it bring it down to stay
|
And while you're making a fireburn and growing long hair
|
Your brother has died in Vietnam you forgot that you are an American
|
Well we'd better stand upon our feet...
|
|
Oh have we thought about what we can do for our country
|
Instead of trying to make it weak
|
Have we thought about what the black men and the white men
|
Can do together I don't mean in the streets
|
Have we thought about those who have no arms and legs to fight with
|
And those who can't speak what would been done for them
|
Have we thought about what we can do them prove our schools
|
Instead of trying to degrade them
|
Whom we're trying them press anyway ourselves or our friends
|
What difference would it make fifty years from now to us
|
But what about the child you're wearing
|
Or is the hammer and sickle more pealing to you than the symbol of freedom
|
Well we'd better stand upon our feet...
|
|
So grow long hair wear dirty clothes curse the police
|
Burn your draftcard destroy our flag dishonor our nation
|
Hedgehop an airplane march in the streets
|
Forger that you're an American destroy yourself and I'll see you in hell
|
Cause that's what it's gonna be like after we're through
|
The great eagle no longer flies but lies dead in the south
|
And the great nation that wing falls with it
|
No I love America and so do you if you'll admit it
|
But we'd better stand upon our feet...
|
No you're not tired of America because you're not tired of being free
|
