we flipped our finger to the king of england
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
twain 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
the 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 got to know the truth
before you say that you got pride
[chorus]
not 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]
