Lyrics
After months of lush smiles, greetings, and life
I've arrived to the land of the walking dead
Where faces run long and troubles run high
The greatest country on earth, people fighting to survive
We are the greatest country to exist on earth
At least that's what they tell us starting at birth
Could I be unamerican
Could I dare to betray the sacred motherland
Sometimes I look at people that surround me
Who suffer, have no purpose, and work tirelessly
And I can't help but wonder, what is this all for
To be a cog in a machine, and pay taxes for war
Tell me nameless, shapeless force in the sky
Tell me there's more to life than to work and to die
Is it only I who dares to try
Is it only I who dares to ask why
We are the greatest country to exist on earth
At least that's what they tell us starting at birth
Could I be unamerican
Could I dare to betray the sacred motherland
Could I be unamerican
Couldn't feel whole so I packed my bags and ran
Hold on to your seats
Everybodys going to work work work
Everybody loves their job job job
Getting to the office before the sun rises
And living a life with no surprises
Everybodys going to work work work (Work work work)
Because they really love their job job job (Job job job)
Their hopes run low and their debts run high
But when asked how are you they say "just fine!" (I'm fine Bill)
We're so lucky to be so free (So free)
Live somewhere else What are you, crazy (What are you, crazy)
Here's the only place where freedom exists
Just make sure to check all off the following list (That's right)
Be born into a family rich and elite (Don't be poor)
Get in lots of debt for a degree that's obsolete (No money)
Make sure to watch the news just from our side
For it's by our rules, the whole world must abide
Of all the rules, the golden rule in which you must comply
is never ever ever ever cease to buy
Unamerican Unamerican Unamerican Unamerican
Could I be I be Could I be
Oh could I be I be could I be
Unamerican Unamerican Unamerican Unamerican
Could I be I be Could I be
Oh could I be I be could I be
Could I be unamerican
Could I dare to betray the sacred motherland
Could I be unamerican
Couldn't feel whole so I packed my bags and ran
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight last gleaming
Can't stand the way that I feel, can't stand the way that I feel
Can't stand the way inside
I'm gone, I can't stand
