[Tom MacDonald - America lyrics]
Lately, USA is gettin' scarier
Half of the Americans I see all hate America
They hate the cops doin' they best
To take care of us and kneel for the flag
Insult the soldiers that we're buryin'
I'm tired of the pissin' and complainin'
Why you livin' in America if all
You do is hate it?
You think it's brave to take
A stand against the nation
Real bravery is dying for the right
So you could say it
Dear America, what happened to Americans?
Apparently, no one's aware or
Cares that it's embarrassin', it's arrogance
Our greatest еnemy was always
Slavery and terrorists
And now it's pеople in the
Country tryna burn the heritage
I can't help it
I just seem to see the world different
It ain't Republicans or liberals
It's mental illness
The Internet is only interested
In left opinions
Cancel culture's got more power lately
Than the First Amendment
If you don't like it, leave
We will not defund police
We don't want no riots in our
Neighborhoods or in the streets
We respect freedom of speech
We protect what we believe
We don't want nobody dead, so please
Do not tread on me
In America, the freedom ain't free
In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas
So America, we say what we believe
My America, I won't ever take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you
Can disrespect our flag
If my stars and stripes offend you
Then I'll help you pack your bags america
Does anybody know what the hell
Happened to the patriots?
Lately, this nation is so
Ashamed and hatin' it'self
Did everyone forget that people died
To pay for this ungratefulness?
United States gave everything to
You just to help
I just wanna celebrate Thanksgiving
With my family i don't need your help to
Understand it was a tragedy
Can't I just be thankful for
My country eating happily
Without you tryna guilt me for
The genocide and casualties?
I can't help it
I just seem to see the world different
It ain't black or white
It's conflict designed by the system
I don't need your pronouns
All I see is men and women
Kids are takin' pills for fun
While people can't afford prescriptions
If you don't like it, go, hate it
Then don't call it home
We don't need no violence
Got no time for all you radicals
Screw your status quo, we're not animals
I won't kneel for the anthem 'cause the
Flag is what I'm standin' fo'
In America, the freedom ain't free
In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas
So America, we say what we believe
My America, I won't ever take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you
Can disrespect our flag
If my stars and stripes offend you
Then I'll help you pack your bags america
You can hate the government and
Still love the country
The fundamental values of
America are concrete
Republicans and liberals are dumb
To put it bluntly
They're labels that they use to
Create chaos and corruption
You can know the history and still
Be proud of where you're from
Every flag around the world is
Covered in a little blood
We started out United States
Divided is what we've become
If home is where the heart is
You should show America some love
In America, the freedom ain't free
In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas
So America, we say what we believe
My America, I won't ever take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you
Can disrespect our flag
If my stars and stripes offend you
Then I'll help you pack your bags america
Half of the Americans I see all hate America
They hate the cops doin' they best
To take care of us and kneel for the flag
