[NOFX, Bill Stevenson - We Called It America lyrics]
"The leads are weak"
"The leads are weak fucking leads
Are weak? You're weak"
Remember when America had a middle
Class and an upper class?
That was way before the exodus
That was the America that we
Thought was number one
Thought would overcome
Thought would never die
That was just our pride and
Faith: two shitty deadly sins
I know faith isn't one of 'em
But it should have been
Cause when things were crumbling
We had no camaraderie
Just a faith someone would
Save us from despondence
We called it America, whoa
We called it America, whoa
"Number one America" was a slogan used
To keep morale up when we
Knew we were already cooked
Then the richer western states
Succeeded in secession and the eastern
Ones followed right behind
Mexi-Can-America was the perfect name
That epitomized the order of significance
Authority and affluence
We had turned it all around
Went from number one, straight to number two
(shit)
National bankruptcy, circumcised society
USA, dined and ditched
Fox reports "poor is the new rich"
We called it America
"The leads are weak fucking leads
Are weak? You're weak"
Remember when America had a middle
Class and an upper class?
That was way before the exodus
That was the America that we
Thought was number one
Thought would overcome
Thought would never die
That was just our pride and
Faith: two shitty deadly sins
I know faith isn't one of 'em
But it should have been
Cause when things were crumbling
We had no camaraderie
Just a faith someone would
Save us from despondence
We called it America, whoa
We called it America, whoa
"Number one America" was a slogan used
To keep morale up when we
Knew we were already cooked
Then the richer western states
Succeeded in secession and the eastern
Ones followed right behind
Mexi-Can-America was the perfect name
That epitomized the order of significance
Authority and affluence
We had turned it all around
Went from number one, straight to number two
(shit)
National bankruptcy, circumcised society
USA, dined and ditched
Fox reports "poor is the new rich"
We called it America
