Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Golden country, your face is so red
With all of your money, your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
[Verse 2]
Well, your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but you back is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn
[Verse 3]
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness, we must put and end
Before we leave we must make a stand
[Verse 4]
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today?
[Verse 5]
Well, your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but you back is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn
[Verse 6]
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness, we must put and end
Before we leave we must make a stand
[Verse 7]
Oh,  yeah
[Verse 8]
Golden country, your face is so red
With all of your money, your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
[Verse 9]
Well, your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but you back is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn
[Verse 10]
Well, the time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness, we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Oh, yeah
[Verse 11]
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness, we must put and end
Before we leave we must make a stand
[Verse 12]
More, more, we must make a stand
