C.w. Mccall - Kidnap America lyrics

(paul hampton, sage allen) I got plan; yeah, a plot's what i got To help this country rise again All a' the haves Join the have-nots And strip our fears off while we can [chorus; c.w. only] We've gotta kidnap america Hold it for ransom Put a price on our own head And we won't give back america 'til ev'ry one of us Start payin' up, stop playin' dead Hold up your head You got it up? Doomsday's been comin' for a hundred years But it's not here yet An' it ain't a-gonna come Unless we drown in our own tears [chorus; the other singers] We've gotta kidnap america Hold it for ransom Put a price on our own head And we won't give back america 'til ev'ry one of us Start payin' up, stop playin' dead Stand up, americans! We are the people! And the shirt's bein' stripped right off of our backs We've let it happen And we've gotta stop it Before the spirit of sweet liberty cracks You guys in office! You better listen! We're sick an' tired of gettin' took This ain't no crap game! This is our future! So run this country by the book Pay up with courage! Don't die for terror We got the guts; we're the home of the brave Well the home may be crumblin' But not the foundation It's still as strong as the day it was laid [chorus; the other singers] We've gotta kidnap america Hold it for ransom Put a price on our own head And we won't give back america 'til ev'ry one of us Start payin' up, stop playin' dead I wanna thank ya For your time
