US of A Lyrics

US of A

I live in a country of greed

I’ve seen what there is to see

To bleed all I can bleed

I’m robbed of my agency

My faith in humanity

My faith in this country

Smashed through bills and hate

(Super PACs)

Walking backwards in fucking place

(Roe V Wade)

With failed foreign policy

(Afganistan)

And a lost cause we’ll always fight

(The drug war)

It’ll all come crashing down

(Wall street)

And we’ll all look like a bunch of clowns!

All this time we crossed the line

(And it fucked us up)

All of us don’t give a shit

(That’s just how it is)

Left or right where does that leave

(The middle man)

Freedom dies and we burn bright

(In our ignorance)

Say you live the American dream

With a family and grass that’s green

But unless you’re bringing in the cake

Your landlord’s gonna fuck up your day

So get a job and pay the bills

To buy some shit you don’t really need

While your world’s burning to a crisp

Ya spend all day looking at your screen

Now they don’t want them in here

(Immigrants)

And they’ll expand your hate and fear

(Media)

Do you really think they have you in mind?

(Two faced)

With our intelligence in decline?

(Total waste)

I see two children arguing

(Here we go)

So where’s that gonna leave me?

All this time we crossed the line

(And it fucked us up)

Now we live on borrowed time

(A Debt that can’t be paid)

All of us don’t give a shit

(That’s just how it is)

Now we pass it to our kids

(A world of hate)

Left or right where does that leave

(The middle man)

Down it will go; society

(In the fury of sound)

Run away into the night

(With money in tow)

Freedom dies and we burn bright

(In our ignorance)
