Oh-oh-oh-oh
Everything that made you
great only made you bad
Made the people hate
all the good they had
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I know that you
had big dreams
that you had big plans
But abuse won't make
won't make a free land
You got a white
picket fence and
your dad's got a gun
And when you see the police
there's no reason to run
You got a job and a car
and a good dental plan
You got health insurance
pocket money damn
America America America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay
your dues
America this is
a new America
Stars are shinin' for you
Sparklin' red and blue
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Fucked with the food chain
Fucked with the farming too
And now our food
don't taste
Like it's meant to do
They've got blood
on their hands 'cause
they stole all the land
And all the lies they're
here to raise made
them feel like a man
Who gave you jazz
hip hop rock and roll
and the blues
No matter what the story's
catching up on you
America America America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay
your dues
America this is
a new America
Stars are shinin' for you
Sparklin' red and blue
Oh-oh-oh-oh
White teeth dark smile
You've been in pain
for a while
You can't hide
your secrets we can see
America America America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay
your dues
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh
Stars are shinin' for you
'Cause freedom's
sparklin' soon
America this is
a new America
Stars are shinin' for you
Sparklin' red and blue
Oh-oh-oh-oh
