Step Into The Madness

Hold it hold it
Listen
Step into the madness of a million city streets
Where dealers sell white powder and children stand and bleed
Where local gangs are vicious and cops are so impure
That schoolboys carry uzis so they'll feel secure
Where fathers rape their daughters and beat up on their sons
Until the mother tries to stop him and goes and buys a gun
Where the local church is closed except a couple times a week
And turns its face from all the homeless in the street
Wo oh oh this is America (This is America)
Land of the free (This is America)
Everyone gets justice (This is America)
And liberty
If you got the money
Bankers and controllers make deals on foreign shores
And the Cia ships heroin to finance their secret wars
They sell the madmen weapons then send soldiers to their land
And in the name of God we battle for all the oil under the sand
This is America (This is America)
Land of the free (This is America)
Everyone gets justice
Everyone gets justice (This is America)
And liberty
If you got the money
Step into the madness
Guitar
This is America brother
Land of the free
Everyone gets justice
And liberty
If you got the money
If you got the money
Woh step into the madness as a thousand points of light
Illuminate the warheads for the final fight
Step into the madness, say your prayers and drink your tea
Get ready for a kinder, gentler world war three
This is America (This is America)
Land of the free (This is America)
Everyone (This is America)
Everyone gets justice
And liberty
If you got the money
This is America (This is America)
Land of the free yeah (This is America)
Everyone gets justice (This is America)
And there is liberty
If you've got the money
Step into the madness
Where are those wacky Peters Brothers when
you need them
