Jucifer - My Stars lyrics

When I was a young girl Sittin' on my mama's knee She taught me to love freedom And to keep my dignity Out in the country, down in Georgia In the tall gra** and Queen Anne's lace I began to love America When I went to elemen- T'ry school I learned to cuss Learned to pray to a Protestant God And in him we trust Pledge of allegiance to America In the concrete walls and wooden desk I learned the scriptures of America When I went to high school I learned how we hate All the fears and shadows We use to segregate The people of America We hold some lies to be self-evident In America When I was in Dallas I stood up on that knoll Thinkin' about murder And what it takes to buy a soul In America Mmm... Ohhhh But it's still my America Down in Alabama Where the crosses burn so bright Way out in the desert Where your eyes can't hold the light And from the mouths of fools, who'll tell you "Might always makes right" Comes the darkness of America Our America From the glitter of Miami To the wild Alaskan shore And the greed of the wealthy And the faith of the poor This is all our America And if they tell you we can't use her freedoms anymore Well, they don't stand for our America If they tell you loss of freedom Is a cost we can't afford And shore up the government And keep us hard at war To one by one give up our rights 'Til our borders seem secure And disagreement will be treason, We'll have no voice anymore They just don't understand America My America Our America My America
