America! America! Land of The Free Install in me your propaganda And never let me be Fill me up from the bottom up With all your fancy free Tear me down with wars and lies And toss me in the sea America! America! My Mother Liberty Cradle me and nurture me With your drug dependency Shoot me down and arm me up With your guns and lust and greed And when your done, another round Give us what we need America! Oh Babylon! Our mouths you need to feed Let us suckle upon your scum And smoke upon your weed America! Oh Greatest One! You're suffocating me With all your might and all you've done I find it hard to breathe America, leave me alone! I cannot be your friend You've plunder me and pillaged me But now all this must end Take back your haze and cheating ways Its time for us to mend You've left me dazed you've left me crazed You've drove us round the bend America, be gone from here! Justice must be done Take back your lies and verdigris It's time to see the Sun You've blocked it with your smoking screen It's time to bring it down It's time for you to cut us free We're better on our own America, you're sick my friend! You need to go and heal Go drink up some restorative Before you're handed back the wheel You think you're great that we are small But we are all equal Go find your way, humility And learn to love us all Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Now the hungry lion roars And the wolf behowls the moon Whilst the heavy ploughman snoars All his weary tasks foredone! Now the wasted brands do glow, Whilst the screechowl screeching loud Puts the wretch that lies in woe In remembrance of a shroud! Now it is the time of night That the graves all gaping wide Every one puts forth a sprite In the churchway paths to glide And we fairies that do run By the triple Hecate's team From the presence of the sun Following darkness like a dream Now are frolic! Now are frolic! Now are frolic! Now are frolic! Now are frolic! No a mouse Shall disturb this hallowed house. I am sent with broom before To sweep the dust behind the door!
