Land Of The Free

The greatest man you've ever seen
Reincarnated Steve McQueen
Insuperable ladies man
Who always seemed to have a plan
But four years later down the line
You seem a little less divine
It's hard to build a kingdom
In quite so little time

Your feet, they walked on marble stones
Your streets were paved in solid gold
Your babies fed with silver spoons
And cared for in the finest schools
You never shared a drop of sweat
With someone who had really had
To fight for a piece of this great American soil

Those manners you brought to the verge of extinction
Soldiers you sent for some smoke in the sky
Oh, how you beautifully blurred the distinction
Between truth, between a truth and a lie

From city blocks to shining seas
You got rid of those refugees
And ever since your wall was built
You've been looking for new enemies
Arabs, Blacks and Indians
All blown into oblivion
Do you really think you made it any greater than before?

Those manners you brought to the verge of extinction
Soldiers you sent for some smoke in the sky
Oh, how you beautifully blurred the distinction
Between truth, between a truth and a lie

Abraham Lincoln brought us abolition
Franklin Delano, he brought us back hope
But you're clinging on to your craving ambition
You're losing your grip on the slippery slope

Everyone knows how to pay for admission
To wander around in your god-given land
Everyone knows how to beg for permission
To live... to breath... or simply to be
In your home of the brave
And your land of the free

O say, can't you see?
