Tom MacDonald Lyrics Follow Tom MacDonald on Bandsintown "America"

Lately, USA is gettin' scarier Half of the Americans I see all hate America They hate the cops doin' they best to take care of us And kneel for the flag, insult the soldiers that we're buryin' I'm tired of the pissin' and complainin' Why you living in America if all you do is hate it? You think it's brave to take a stand against the nation Real bravery is dying for the right so you could say it Dear America, what happened to Americans? Apparently, no one's aware or cares that it's embarrassin', it's arrogance Our greatest enemy was always slavery and terrorists And now it's people in the country tryna burn the heritage I can't help it, I just seem to see the world different It ain't Republicans or Liberals, it's mental illness The Internet is only interested in left opinions Cancel culture's got more power lately than the First Amendment If you don't like it, leave, we will not defund police We don't want no riots in our neighborhoods or in the streets We respect freedom of speech, we protect what we believe We don't want nobody dead, so please, do not tread on me

In America, the freedom ain't free In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas So America, we say what we believe My America, I won't ever take a knee Our freedom is the reason you can disrespect our flag If my stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags America

Does anybody know what the hell happened to the patriots? Lately, this nation is so ashamed and hatin' itself Did everyone forget that people died to pay for this ungratefulness? United States gave everything to you just to help I just wanna celebrate Thanksgiving with my family I don't need your help to understand it was a tragedy Can't I just be thankful for my country eating happily Without you tryna guilt me for the genocide and casualties? I can't help it, I just seem to see the world different It ain't black or white, it's conflict designed by the system I don't need your pronouns, all I see is men and women Kids are takin' pills for fun while people can't afford prescriptions If you don't like it, go hate it, then don't call it home We don't need no violence, got no time for all you radicals Screw your status quo, we're not animals I won't kneel for the anthem 'cause the flag is what I'm standin' for

In America, the freedom ain't free In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas So America, we say what we believe My America, I won't ever take a knee Our freedom is the reason you can disrespect our flag If my stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags America

You can hate the government and still love the country The fundamental values of America are concrete Republicans and Liberals are dumb, to put it bluntly They're labels that they use to create chaos and corruption You can know the history and still be proud of where you're from Every flag around the world is covered in a little blood We started out United States, divided is what we've become If home is where the heart is, you should show America some love

In America, the freedom ain't free In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas So America, we say what we believe My America, I won't ever take a knee Our freedom is the reason you can disrespect our flag If my stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags America
