lyrics

Look at me
I’m so
American
God told me so
My pride aligns
with one bible
a white president
ensures my survival
This land ain’t your land
This land is my land
America my island
Look at me
I’m so
American
God told me so
My hatred blurs
with bravery
Got a gun
no one’s out to get me
This land ain’t your land
This land is my land
America
I’ll sing it again
This land ain’t your land
This land is my land
America my island
Only in America
Lonely in America
Only in America
Lonely in America
Burn me a bridge
Build me a wall
Lock us up
America
This land ain’t your land
This land is my land
America my island
This land ain’t your land
This land is my land
Goddamn
America
