America (Oh Say Can You See) |
LyricsTurn out the light, what's wrong is rightWelcome to the new dark ages. In the home of the brave and the land of the free They're trying to sell off our democracy They don't believe in you or me, or "We the people" They want to privatize the constitution Gerrymander the Bill of Rights and legalize pollution They declared hunting season.... on the American Eagle. America, Oh say can you see! In the home of the brave and the land of the free They don't believe in equality They don't care about the poor, or the sick or the needy! They want to dummy down the whole damn nation Deny science and defund education Their trickle-down minds serve only the greedy America, oh say can you see! America, oh say can you see! So turn out the light, What's wrong is right Welcome to the new dark ages. In the home of the brave and the land of the free Our forefathers fought for our liberty For our right to stand up or sit down or to take a knee To protest injustice and inequality So I stand up now for a more perfect union I stand for tolerance and brotherhood and a sense of communion And I stand against hypocrites who lie to our faces And try to drag us back down to the new dark ages. America oh say can you see! America, oh say can you see! So turn on your light, what's wrong is NOT right Shine a light on the new dark ages! This land is your land, this land is my land From sea to shining sea. And crown thy good with brotherhood, America, oh say you see............... |
