Milo Aukerman - 'Merican lyrics

[Verse 1] We flipped our finger to the king of England Stole our country from the indians With God on our side and guns in our hands We took it for our own A nation dedicated to liberty Justice and equality Does it look that way to you It doesn't look that way to me The sickest joke I know [Chorus] Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am Just another stupid American You don't wanna listen You don't wanna understand So finish up your drink and go home [Verse 2] I come from the land of Ben Franklin Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman Otis Redding, Ellington The country that I love But it's a land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan Haymarket riot and the Great Depression Joe McCarthy, Vietnam The sickest joke I know [Chorus] [Bridge] I'm proud and ashamed Every Fourth of July You got to know the truth Before you say that you got pride [Verse 3] Now the cops got tanks, cause the kids got guns Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun Straight to Hell we go [Chorus]
