[Verse 1]
We got 13 stripes and 50 stars
A couple million behind bars
So many folks can't even eat
The spend their nights on city streets
[Pre-Chorus]
You call this home, I call this no man's land
That's what it means to be American
[Verse 2]
They say, "Pledge allegiance to your flag"
But it won't pledge allegiance back
Just do your time and pay your dues
But it won't pay none back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
You call this home, I call this no man's land
That's what it means to be American
[Chorus]
So if your heart ain't heavy, you're not scared enough
When you ask for blessings, don't forget America
Hu-uh-uh
[Verse 3]
They say, "Read your books and go to school"
'Cause Uncle Sam's got plans for you
And if you're broke he's got your tab
But nothing's free, remember that
[Pre-Chorus]
You call this home, I call this no man's land
That's what it means to be American
[Chorus]
So if your heart ain't heavy, you're not scared enough
When you ask for blessings, don't forget America
Hu-uh-uh
[Bridge]
You're so stuck on immigration
But you brought the ships to take 'em
Making laws so now they don't
Get to come here on their own
And you call yourself the man
'Cause you stole some people's land
Took some kids from overseas
To help you build this shit for free
[Chorus]
So if your heart ain't heavy, you're not scared enough (No)
When you ask for blessings, don't forget America
[Outro]
If your heart ain't heavy, you're not scared enough
When you ask for blessings, don't forget America
