Lyrics

This Is America

The Statue of Liberty lost her virginity to me

Oh yeah

But I get my rocks off by watching the cops on TV

Oh yeah

I'm feel needy, cheap and greedy

Won't you give me the thing that I need

But I'm not to blame cause my video game got my mind

All right

Now you've got your fame

You get your crack cocaine

You put a bullet in your brain

Cause this is America

Yeah this is America

American history is still just a mystery to me

Oh yeah

But I think it says it all

Watching the junkies fall down on Avenue D

I learned all I know on the Internet show

I'm buildin' a bomb for a dime

And the Statue of Liberty lost her virginity to me

And that's just fine

Now you've got your fame

You get your crack cocaine

You put a bullet in your brain

Cause this is America

Yeah this is America

Cause this is America

Yeah this is America

What ever happened to you

What ever happened to me

I think that says it all

Watching the a junkies stall

I know it's a very scary life

Oh no... here come the Indians!

Cause this is America

Yeah this is America

Cause this is America

Yeah this is America

Cause this is America

Yeah this is America

Yeah this is America

Yeah this is America

Iyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiyeiyei

Ooooooooooh cause this is America

It's the land of the free

And the home of the brave

Cause this is America

It's the land of the free

It's the land of the free

And the home of the brave

Cause this is America

It's the land of the free

It's the land of the free

And the home of the brave

Cause this is America

It's the land of the free

It's the land of the free

And the home of the brave

It's the land of the free
