We Called It America

"The leads are weak."

"The leads are weak; fucking leads are weak? You're weak."

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

We called it America, whoa

We called it America, whoa

[Verse 2]

"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)

[Chorus]

We called it America, whoa

We called it America, whoa

[Interlude]

National bankruptcy, circumcised society

USA, dined and ditched;

Fox reports "poor is the new rich"

[Chorus]

We called it America, whoa

We called it America, whoa

[Outro]

We called it America
