This is America, in middle ages
Cut throat and loving God, on modern pages
Land ahoy of opportunity and awe
A place of choice where murder is the law
Now in America, you’ll find you are alone
Where culture versus God, no humanity at home
The camera rolls and your finger scrolls down
Pay-per-view the last seconds of your clown
Mercy me with no credit
You show me and I’ll know it
Bury me but don’t show it
He can see and you know it
So look into my eyes
And watch as I hang high
Although you see me burn
It doesn’t mean I’ll learn
I’ll learn, you’ll learn, we’ll learn
Mercy me with no credit
You show me and I’ll know it
Bury me but don’t show it
He can see and you know it
He can see and you know it
He can see and you know
