My Country My A**

Now tell me again how this country is the land of the free and the home of the brave
You can't really believe that what you see now is the reason so many brave men gave
Teacher used to say we had the Bill of Rights
I think they took our rights and sent us the bill
Well I don't know about you my friends, but I think I've had my fill
They been walkin' on me for my whole life I think it's finally time to draw the line
You can tell old John Cougar Mellencamp he can stick his song where the sun don't shine

My Country my a**
This is not the land I learned about in class
My country my a**
That freedom justice stuff is all in the past

Got a check point up the road ahead, better pull out your ID
And your tazes just went up again, gotta cough up some more money
Be careful what you're sayin' when you're on the phone, you never know who might be listening in
They got cameras watching every where you go so they know just where you been
You know you better think about the books you read or your name might go on a list
Don't take too many pictures now, or they'll think you're a terrorist
They're watching you every time you turn around and they don't like what they see
You gotta be flippin' kidding me if you think this country's free

My country my a**
This is not the land I learned about in class
My country my a**
That freedom justice stuff is all in the past

Well the banks messed up so they took money from us and gave a zillion dollar bonus
And they didn't give a damn what we had to say, I swear to God they think they own us
But when they say "Bend over!" and you say "Yes Sir!"
And then you vote for them again
If you're the kind of people who fought our wars tell me how'd we ever win?
They been walkin' on us for far too long and don't you think it's time to draw the line?
Why don't you tell those jerks in Washington to stick their laws where the sun don't shine?

My country my a**
This is not the land I learned about in class
My country my a**
That freedom justice stuff is all in the past

They say "America, love it or leave it"
Well I loved it, and it left me.
