'Merican - Descendents

We flipped our finger to the king of England

Stole our country from the Indians

With God on our side and guns in our hands

We took it for our own

A nation dedicated to liberty

Justice and equality

Does it look that way to you?

It doesn’t look that way to me

The sickest joke I know

Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don’t wanna listen

You don’t wanna understand

So 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 country that I love

But it’s a land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan

Haymarket riot and the Great Depression

Joe McCarthy, Vietnam

The sickest joke I know

Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don’t wanna listen

You don’t wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

I’m proud and ashamed

Every Fourth of July

You got to know the truth

Before you say that you got pride

Now the cops got tanks, 'cause the kids got guns

Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone

Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun

Straight to Hell we go

Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don’t wanna listen

You don’t wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don’t wanna listen

You don’t wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

Finish up your drink and go home
