God Bless America

Pine Gap listens as the world spins around
the ears of a nation, 8 thousand miles away
they put a gun to your head
and tell you “We’re on your side”
the greenback dollar is fighting the yen
we’ll buy your land and sell it back to you again
and the say of a poor man
is smothered with a business frown

God bless America
the land of the free
this ain’t no Garden of Eden

John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King
Lee Harvey Oswald, John Lennon couldn’t win
they put a gun to their heads
and told them not to cry
Congress, M-64s, nuclear toys
shoot it down if it makes any noise
and the blood of a black man
is wiped with a paper towel

God bless America
the land of the free
this ain’t no Garden of Eden
