I was walking down the street
Sweating non stop in the heat
Looking around the city
Seeing the homeless, feeling pity
Our country is really dumb
Cold in the heart and real numb
We start to many wars
Shutting freedom in the face with doors
We stand for freedom, but do we
Killing people who aren't like us, can't you see
We don't let anybody that's different be
We can't even take care of our homeless
We just stick our noses in others business
All I see in the U.S. is one big mess
With a rising in the unemployment rate
Gee wonder why I’m mad and I hate
We spend people’s salaries on war
Killing innocent people and in the end what for
I’m sad that our taxes go towards blood money
When we could be solving our own issues in this country
I can’t believe I’m stuck here being a part of this
Don’t tell me this is all for the best
Tell that to the murdered, the homeless, and the rest
Murder seems to be what this country is good at
Everyone think and take a good look at that
One person can’t make a difference
But many can break down the fence
To be a part of this hatred I’m not proud
Blood shed, hatred, pain, how does that sound
Put yourself in the middle of that blood filled place
Can you look those people in the face?
That’s it, end of the case!
