New America
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything that made you great
Only made you bad
Made the people hate
All the good they had
I know that you had big dreams
That you had big plans
But abuse won't make
Won't make a free land
You got a white picket fence
And your dad's got a gun
And when you see the police
There's no reason to run
You got a job, and a car
And a good dental plan
You got health insurance, pocket money
Damn!
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
Fuckеd with the food chain
Fucked with the farming too
And now our food don't tastе
Like it's meant to do
They've got blood on their hands
'Cause they stole all the land
And all the lives they erased
Made them feel like a man
Who gave you jazz, hip-hop
Rock and roll and the blues?
No matter what
The story's catching up on you
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
White teeth, dark smile
You've been in pain for a while
You can't hide your secrets
We can see
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
Stars are shining for you
'Cause freedom's coming soon
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
