A Dream on Loan

This country's not something we own
It's a dream that is only on loan
We must pass it along, singing a song
Of freedom and justice for all

You wake up to a dark, dark morning
You're living through dark, dark days
Step out of line and without any warning
You'll disappear, just go away
Fear, fear in dark, dark nights
With soldiers in the street
And curfews, no freedom, no justice

It's a world easier to fight
To hold on to our rights
Then to let our leaders abuse them
And lose them
And have to fight in the dark, dark night

Get up, come on, get up
This nation is sick to its soul
We are our own worst terrorists
So, God bless America, cause
Like Jagger said
After all, it was you and me
It was you and me
It was you and me
So, God bless America, because
We're our own worst terrorists, terrorists

Come on, America, listen
This country's not something we own
It's a dream that is only on loan
We must pass it along, singing a song
Of freedom and justice for all
