[Chorus]
America, America
What have they done to thee
Ooooooo aaaaaa
You used to be so beautiful
a proud land of the free
Oooooooooo aaaaaaaaaa
America, America
It's painfull to see
Oooooooo aaaaaaaa
[Verse]
you used to be our beacon
a place where only Freedom was king
Freedom to all your people
Freedom of religion
Freedom of speech
a place where dreams
CAN come true
For both me and you
The land of opportunities
with endless possibilities
A nation of law and order
All based on democracy
[Chorus]
America, America
What have they done to thee
Oooooooo, aaaaaaa
You used to be so beautiful
a proud land of the free
Oooooooo aaaaaaa
[Verse]
Now times have sadly changed
It's plain for all to see
You're being groomed by monsters
Those who lie and deceive
Those hungry for power
Those who worship the dollar
They fill your streets with soldiers
Those trained to shoot to kill
Through orders by one man
you're turning into Afghanistan
where human rights aren't for everyone
they take your Freedom
they take away your rights
if you speak up
they'll lock you up
[Chorus]
America, America
You're getting used to lies
Ooooooo aaaaaa
Those who you chose to lead you
are gambling with your lives
Oooooo aaaaaaa
[Chorus]
America, America
What have they done to thee
Ooooo aaaaa
You used to be so beautiful
a proud land of the free
Oooooo aaaaaaaa
[Verse]
Your land is full of contrasts
But united you stand
from tropical trees to frozen lands
from Disneyland to Alcatraz
from scientists at the Mayo clinic
to excentric stars in Hollywood
you're filled with people of every color
with different religions, dreams and hopes
For others this means chaos and civil wars
For you it's simply home and hope
A place where new ideas can grow
[Chorus]
America, America
What have they done to thee
Ooooooo aaaaaaaaa
You used to be so beautiful
a proud land of the free
Ooooooo aaaaaaa
America America
It's painful to see
Ooooooo aaaaaaaaa
[Pre outro]
America, wake up
Time is running out
Those hungry for power
Are selling you out
They will burn it all down
For a few bucks
[Outro]
America, America
What have they done to thee
Ooooooo aaaaaaaaa
You used to be so beautiful
a proud land of the free
Oooooooooo aaaaaaa
America o beautiful
Don't let them succeed
Oooooh aaaaah, oooooh
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
Lost on the spectrum
