I'm ashamed to be an American
Spent all day lookin up ways to defect
Who's gonna pay for the blood sweat and debt again
Who's to blame and who are we to respect
The boys in the blue and their red rotten apples
Or that white man in the bison headdress
Wielding the flag like a weapon of mass destruction
Even George fuckin' Bush thinks this is a mess
I'm ashamed to be an American
It's a sick game to the bloody bitter end
Don't tread on you we're all under your boots
Don't step on the snakes and keep on pretending
The homes we've paved over the people we pay for
The drugs and the swimming pools we toil every day for
The food we spoil and the oil in the ocean
So yeah i'm ashamed to exclaim
Ain't it great to be an American
If you take what you learned in public school
Make it mean what you believe of the American dream, just
Turn your cheek and don't listen to the screams
In the land of the free
From the river to the sea to shining sea
Only for people who look like me
Red rockets white phosphorus blue blooded prophets
But nothing's free haven't you learned
Shame on me I'm a god damn American
Spent all day on the government's dime
Gold god and glory, gluttons and guns
We're so numb and dumbed down here in America
