Album: Cool To Be You'mericanWe flipped our finger to the king of England
And stole our country from the Indians
With God on our side and gund in our hand
Took it for our own
Built a nation dedicated to liberty,
Justice, and equality
Does it look that way to you? It doesn't look that way to me
It's the sickest joke I know
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
I'm just another stupid American
But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand
Just finish up your drink and go home
I come from the land of Ben Franklin
Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman,
Otis Redding, Ellington,
The counrty that I love...
But it's the land of the slaves, and the Klu Klux Klan,
The Haymarket Riot, and the Great Depression
Joe McCarthy, Viet Nam
It's the sickest joke I know
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
I'm just another stupid American
But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand
Just finish up your drink and go home
I'm proud and ashamed, every 4th or July
You've got to know the truth before you say that you've pride
Now the cops got tanks cause the kids got guns
Shrinks pushing pills on everyone
Cancer form the ocean, cancer from the sun
Straight to Hell we go
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
I'm just another stupid American
But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand
Just finish up your drink and go home
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
I'm just another stupid American
But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand
Just finish up your drink
And go home
