[Verse 1] God bless America, and my right to speak the truth But middle finger to these white-collared men in a suit Whether it's Washington or Wall Street, they're all treasonous to the flag we salute The red, white, and blue Now they wanna talk about the troops? I got a sister in the Navy, she's a mother of two And my brother's a Marine, rockin' combat boots He fought in Iraq where they bombed and shoot, but made it back To my mama like a champ Though in the process involved, he hurt his back I watched my brother break his back for the service, but the government deserted him, his contract was terminated You see they didn't want to pay for his surgeon While corporate tax breaks inflated their purses We got a congress full of sleazebag, treacherous-hags and y'all wondering why Kaepernick won't stand for the flag Just think about it, before you log-on to Facebook and make a stink about it I'm sick of all this fake “patriotism”- if y'all were really patriotic You'd be tweetin' bout the cheatin' taking place in our system Like how we're working slaves, entangled by the chains of big business With racial labor divisions, and discrimination in pays between a man and a woman Goddammit I've had it with snatching Hispanic parents away from raising their children Deportations erasing the faces of millions While incarceration rates are blatant displays of what's taken place by putting profit in prisons Now black Americans are the victims of disparities in em' See it's institutional racism But I don't see no movement from politicians (Nah) They rather sit and bask in the wealth by themselves Yo the pitchforks are coming, I tell ya
