'merican Lyrics
'merican by Descendents
We stole our country from the Indians
With God at our side and guns in our hands
We took it for our own
A nation dedicated to Liberty
Justice and equality
Does it look that way to you?
It doesn't look that way to me
The sickest joke I know
[chorus]
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
Just another stupid American
You don't wanna listen
You don't wanna understand
So finish up your drink and go home
I come from the land of Ben Franklin,
Duane, and Poe, and Walt Whitman,
Otis Redding, Ellington,
The country that I love
But it's a land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan
Haymarket riot and the great depression
Joe McCarthy, Vietnam
The sickest joke I know
[chorus]
I'm proud and ashamed
Every fourth of July
You've got to know the truth
Before you say that you got pride
[chorus]
Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns
Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone
Cancer from the ocean
Cancer from the sun
Straight to hell we go
[chorus 2x]
