歌詞

We flipped the finger to the king of England Then stole our country from the Indians With God on our side and guns in our hands We took it for our own Built a nation dedicated to liberty Justice, and equality Does it look that way to you? It doesn't look that way to me Sickest joke I know Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am I'm just another stupid American You don't want to listen, you don't want to 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 the land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan Haymarket Riot and the Great Depression Joe McCarthy, Vietnam Sickest joke I know Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am I'm just another stupid American You don't want to listen, you don't want to understand So finish up your drink and go home I'm proud and ashamed Every 4th of July You've got to know the truth Before you say that you've got pride Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns Shrinks pushing 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 I'm just another stupid American But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand So finish up your drink and go home Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am I'm just another stupid American But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand So finish up your drink and go home Finish up your drink and go home
