'Merican |
| We flipped our finger to the king of England |
| Stole our country from the Indians |
| With God on our side and guns in our hands |
| We took it for our own |
| A nation dedicated to liberty |
| Justice and equality |
| Does it look that way to you? |
| It doesn’t look that way to me |
| The sickest joke I know |
| Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am |
| Just another stupid American |
| You don’t wanna listen |
| You don’t wanna understand |
| So finish up your drink and go home |
| I come from the land of Ben Franklin |
| Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman |
| Otis Redding, Ellington |
| The country that I love |
| But it’s a land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan |
| Haymarket riot and the Great Depression |
| Joe McCarthy, Vietnam |
| The sickest joke I know |
| Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am |
| Just another stupid American |
| You don’t wanna listen |
| You don’t wanna understand |
| So finish up your drink and go home |
| I’m proud and ashamed |
| Every Fourth of July |
| You got to know the truth |
| Before you say that you got pride |
| Now the cops got tanks, 'cause the kids got guns |
| Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone |
| Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun |
| Straight to Hell we go |
| Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am |
| Just another stupid American |
| You don’t wanna listen |
| You don’t wanna understand |
| So finish up your drink and go home |
| Listen up man, I’ll tell you who I am |
| Just another stupid American |
| You don’t wanna listen |
| You don’t wanna understand |
| So finish up your drink and go home |
| Finish up your drink and go home |
