New America

Everything that made you great only made you bad Made the people hate all the good they had 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 shining for you Sparkling red and blue 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 then all the lives that you've raised 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 shining for you Sparkling red and blue 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 Stars are shining for you 'Cause freedom's sparkling soon (oh) America This is a new America Stars are shining for you (oh) Sparkling red and blue (oh)
