作词 : Byrom, Edmonton, Kay, Nicholas ... | |
Once the religious, the hunted and weary | |
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope | |
Came to this country to build a new vision | |
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope | |
Like good | |
Christians, some would burn the witches | |
Later some got slaves to gather riches | |
But still from near and far to seek | |
AmericaThey came by thousands to court the wild | |
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child | |
To be their spirit and guiding light | |
And once the ties with the crown had been broken | |
Westward in saddle and wagon it went | |
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean | |
Many the lives which had come to an end | |
While we bullied, stole and bought our homeland | |
We began the slaughter of the red man | |
But still from near and far to seek | |
AmericaThey came by thousands to court the wild | |
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child | |
To be their spirit and guiding light | |
The blue and gray they stomped it | |
They kicked it just like a dog | |
And when the war was over | |
They stuffed it just like a hog | |
And though the past has it's share of injustice | |
Kind was the spirit in many a way | |
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping | |
Now it's a monster and will not obey | |
The spirit was freedom and justice | |
And it's keepers seem generous and kind | |
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country | |
But now they won't pay it no mind' | |
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy | |
And now their vote is a meaningless joke | |
They babble about law and order | |
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told | |
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose | |
It's got our heads into a noose | |
And it just sits there watchin' | |
The cities have turned into jungles | |
And corruption is stranglin' the land | |
The police force is watching the people | |
And the people just can't understand | |
We don't know how to mind our own business' | |
Cause the whole world's got to be just like us | |
Now we are fighting a war over there | |
No matter who's the winner | |
We can't pay the cost' | |
Cause there's a monster on the loose | |
It's got our heads into the noose | |
And it just sits there watching | |
America where are you now? | |
Don't you care about your sons and daughters? | |
Don't you know we need you now? | |
We can't fight alone against the monster | |
America where are you now? | |
Don't you care about your sons and daughters? | |
Don't you know we need you now? | |
We can't fight alone against the monster | |
America where are you now? | |
Don't you care about your sons and daughters? | |
Don't you know we need you now? | |
We can't fight alone against the monster | |
America where are you now? | |
Don't you care about your sons and daughters? | |
Don't you know we need you now? | |
We can't fight alone against the monster | |
America where are you now? | |
Don't you care about your sons and daughters? | |
Don't you know we need you now? | |
We can't fight alone against the monster |
