They're gonna try to tell you
it all started yesterday
One man died, a people cried for justice!
But now you see they're burning down your homes in the night,
And you don't want to face
what's in plain sight.
The wolves are coming to your neighbourhood, so say STOP! This is America!
(This is America!) This is America!
It ain't nothing new,
just history it rhymes again.
You build your tower high,
they smash it down and lie,
and spit on your grave!
But now it's like they've open the asylum (Clown World), let the inmates run free (Freedom!).
Oh, damn! They've overthrown the government!
And you say STOP! This is America!
(This is America!) This is America!
Call out to the Lord!
Can the people of the disunited States survive?
Can the Great Experiment fight to stay alive?
Can it survive? Left and Right, we can't unite,
It's time for a divorce,
We the People only kneel before Jesus, our Lord!
(This is America!) This is America!
What if I told you,
It was all a lie?
Can you believe your eyes?
Can you believe their lies,
Anymore?
If all you do is open up your doors
to the wolves,
Would you let them take your woman
And your children too?
If you don't think it will ever get to that
Well here's a fact - it's happen in America!
(This is America!) This is America!
Time for America to come first!
