Thank you America
For teaching us or nationalistic ways
And providing such honesty
As we grew through our days
Stand up my children and face the flag
Now pledge everyday
To genocide woven
Deep into the rag
Thank you for telling me
Which race I should hate
And to be careful deciding,
What friends I should make
Stereotypes fill the brainwaves over the media screen
Though most of your children are caught in your dream
Reach for your potential
Vass opportunities are equal
You have a family to feed?
Corporate America won’t hesitate to take what they need
Just to make sure their company succeeds
Thank you America
For the paths you have set
To let the richer get richer
Without a regret
Thank you so much for the freedom of choice
Even though propaganda has brainwashed our voice
Teaching us the ways to not think at all
Just bring out your wallets when visiting the malls
Thank you for teaching us to be number one
No wonder we are the best at manufacturing guns
Good thing the rest of the world wants to be just like us
It’s just those crazy few, putting up such a fuss
Did I thank you for the Ism’s
Which segregates us all
So one person feels lesser
As others stand tall
Should we talk about race?
Or possibly sex?
Or anything not white male…
Being basically rejects?
Did I pull a sensitive card America?
Something hard to talk about
We are all a people
But we were told we were different
Just so freedom would be something they inhibit
Thank you for democracy
Where every vote counts
Even though the candidates
Are controlled through bank accounts.
Thank you for lobbyists
Providing the cash that they need
Just so our votes can help special interest succeed
Thank you for teaching me the
Way men should behave
And pushing the vision
For women as sex slaves
No wonder all our values are disguised with these beliefs
Individuality easily stolen by these media thieves
We all participate in manipulating each of our minds
But being blind brings a toll of infinite fines
(Pause)
I’m a proud American that was born to believe this
Just by being born doesn’t mean that you exist
