New America Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything that made you great only made you bad
Made the people hate all the good they had
I know that you had big dreams, that you had big plans
But abuse won't make, won't make a free land
[Pre-Chorus]
You got a white picket fence and your dad's got a gun
And when you see the police, there's no reason to run
You got a job and a car and a good dental plan
You got health insurance, pocket money, damn
[Chorus]
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
[Verse 2]
Fuckеd with the food chain
Fucked with the farming too
And now food don't tastе
Like it's meant to do
[Pre-Chorus]
They've got blood on their hands 'cause they stole all the land
And all the lives they erased made 'em feel like a man
Who gave you jazz, hip hop, rock 'n' roll, and the blues?
No matter what, history's catching up on you
[Chorus]
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
[Bridge]
White teeth, dark smile
You've been in pain for a while
You can't hide your secrets, we can see
[Chorus]
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
Stars are shining for you
'Cause freedom's coming soon
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
