A Dream on Loan Lyrics

This country's not something we own

It's a dream that is only on loan

We must pass it along, singing a song

Of freedom and justice for all

You wake up to a dark, dark morning

You're living through dark, dark days

Step out of line and without any warning

You'll disappear, just go away

Fear, fear in dark, dark nights

With soldiers in the street

And curfews, no freedom, no justice

It's a world easier to fight

To hold on to our rights

Then to let our leaders abuse them

And lose them

And have to fight in the dark, dark night

Get up, come on, get up

This nation is sick to its soul

We are our own worst terrorists

So, God bless America, cause

Like Jagger said

After all, it was you and me

It was you and me

It was you and me

So, God bless America, because

We're our own worst terrorists, terrorists

Come on, America, listen

This country's not something we own

It's a dream that is only on loan

We must pass it along, singing a song

Of freedom and justice for all
