An original song by Peri Urban. Part two of an American trilogy?
You asked me, how is America viewed overseas? Well, America’s envied and loved and despised more...by degrees You got everything, nothing and something But you don’t know what You are young and you’re brash And you’re taking the cash Take the lot And your people are fat But the rich and the poor never meet You got vile politicians With media whores at their feet And you like to shoot guns, you got pizza You sing for your flag You got Christians, pagans And those who think God is a drag (queen) You got lawyers and mountains, freak shows And deserts and all kinds of pain You send your young men into battle for freedom Again and again and again But the freedoms they win are just chains Wrapped in velvet and padlocked tight Yeah, America stands for the light Or she is the bringer of the night
And America sucks If you don’t live there And America sucks If you are poor there And America sucks If she is bombing you And America sucks If she don’t love you less
