lyrics
Forget the amber waves of grain
This democracy’s teetering
Headed down the drain
Two hundred years waiting for change
Land of the free?
Free to be poor and die
Free to believe in lies
Land of racist pride
This land’s not your land
This land’s not mine
It’s for those who have the money but who never pay for their crimes
When dollars are worth more than lives
This land’s not your land
This land’s not mine
It’s for corporations, billionaires, and the stock market bottom line
When dollars are worth more than lives
But I still think we’re the best
Best at letting a virus spread
Best at political figureheads
Best at ending arguments by calling you a socialist
It’s not your land
It was never ours
We brutalize our citizens to incite our racial wars
Wake up to the American plight
This democracy’s teetering
Headed down the drain
Two hundred years waiting for change
Land of the free?
Free to be poor and die
Free to believe in lies
Land of racist pride
This land’s not your land
This land’s not mine
It’s for those who have the money but who never pay for their crimes
When dollars are worth more than lives
This land’s not your land
This land’s not mine
It’s for corporations, billionaires, and the stock market bottom line
When dollars are worth more than lives
But I still think we’re the best
Best at letting a virus spread
Best at political figureheads
Best at ending arguments by calling you a socialist
It’s not your land
It was never ours
We brutalize our citizens to incite our racial wars
Wake up to the American plight
