Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Miss Liberty turn in a Jezebel
All the dreams you go sell, the whole them turn in a hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn
[Verse 2]
If she had only stood for love, that would have been enough
She wouldn't have to hide her shame
If she had only stood for love, that would have been enough
But now we all burn in her flames
[Verse 3]
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off of a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful life
[Verse 4]
The land of the free built on slavery
Our consciousness in captivity
The promise land is in the liar's den
Your culture of greed has got to end
[Verse 5]
Now we're laying in the mud, looking up above
Tear weather just a drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud, separating us from love
But me nah go let them conquer the I
[Verse 6]
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off of a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful life
