Green Day - Back In The USA lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up to a bitter storm (bitter year) And Noah's Ark came washed up on the shore The riot gear has lined the dawn (bitter year) Like dogs that sh*t on your neighbor's lawn [Pre-Chorus] Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade [Chorus] Back in the USA for a small town serenade With fireworks on display Tonight, it's a hero's welcome home And there's no place else to go And I'm takin' it to the grave Back in the USA [Verse 2] The saddest story ever told (bitter year) Is feeling safe in our suburban homes Like soldiers of an endless war (bitter year) And every church can have a liquor store [Pre-Chorus] Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade [Chorus] Back in the USA for a small town serenade With fireworks on display Tonight, it's a hero's welcome home And there's no place else to go And I'm takin' it to the grave Back in the USA
