Happy birthday U.S.A.
It’s time to face the truth
Some ideals have been forgotten
That mattered in your youth
Your tired and your hungry
Aren’t important anymore
The rich keep getting richer
With no thought for the poor
Freedom of religion
Should mean freedom from it too
One nation under God
Is just some people’s point of view
All men created equal
Has been lost without a doubt
That dream is off the market
Walls are built to keep “them” out
Liberties are sacrificed
Rights are treated wrong
The land of opportunity
Is only for the strong
Wars are fought for profit
And leaders don’t think twice
As we give our sons and daughters
As a pointless sacrifice
But still we pause to wave the flag
Which stood for something grand
Before these soulless bastards
Raped the dream our fathers planned
Where is the land they dreamed of
Where its people mattered most
Where liberty and justice
Was the rule from coast to coast
We must take back the power
If the dream is to survive
And fight like those before us
Just to keep that hope alive
