Oh America, land of the free
|
Your flag is flying, but it looks dirty to me
|
Oh America, home of the brave
|
Anywhere you go you're leaving too many graves
|
|
The chest is so big but the brain is too small
|
The whole world's crying out 'just stop the wars'
|
Don't care about the climate, don't care about the poor
|
You don't seem to care about too much at all
|
|
You say you're with God but you wield Satan's sword
|
With kangaroo courts you just make up your laws
|
No human rights oh yes we know the score
|
The bogey man is close, he may live next door
|
|
When the floods came down it showed all your old traits
|
Condemned your own people on the basis of race
|
Why leave vulnerable people in a vulnerable place?
|
Its a crying shame, it's a freaking disgrace
|
|
I say the government man, them seem to get it wrong
|
Them seem to make a whole heap of bad decision
|
Time fe good Americans to stand up strong
|
Like the friends over there we know for so long
|
Stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
|
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
|
Me say, stand up firm, me say, stand up strong
|
Time fe mek a new day, we no love Babylon
|
