New America

Everything that made you great only made you bad

Made the people hate all the good they had (oh-oh-oh-oh)

I know that you had big dreams, that you had big plans

But abuse won't make, won't make a free land (oh-oh-oh-oh)

You got a white picket fence and your dad's got a gun

And when you see the police, there's no reason to run

You got a job and a car and a good dental plan

You got health insurance, pocket money, damn

America

America, America

You can't bury the truth

It's time to pay your dues (oh-oh-oh-oh)

America, this is a new America

Stars are shinin' for you

Sparklin' red and blue (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Fucked with the food chain

Fucked with the farming too

And now our food don't taste

Like it's meant to do (oh-oh-oh-oh)

They've got blood on their hands 'cause they stole all the land

And all the lies they're here to raise made them feel like a man

Who gave you jazz, hip hop, rock and roll and the blues?

No matter what, the story's catching up on you

America

America, America

You can't bury the truth

It's time to pay your dues (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

America, this is a new America

Stars are shinin' for you

Sparklin' red and blue (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

White teeth, dark smile

You've been in pain for a while

You can't hide your secrets, we can see

America

America, America

You can't bury the truth

It's time to pay your dues

Stars are shinin' for you (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

'Cause freedom's sparklin' soon (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

America, this is a new America

Stars are shinin' for you

Sparklin' red and blue (oh-oh-oh-oh)
