America

Verse 1

In foreign lands, they fight our wars

While here at home, our money pours

Into the hands of billionaires

As millions suffer everywhere

Verse 2

Our schools are crumbling, our bridges fail

While politicians line up for bail

They trade our future for their greed

While ignoring the people's need

Chorus

America, America

You're killing us slowly

America, America

You're killing me

Verse 3

Your streets are filled with fear and hate

As the rich get rich and the poor lose faith

A country divided cannot stand

A house on fire, a wasteland

Verse 4

From coast to coast, we're falling down

A king in exile still wears his crown

Our democracy is just a game

While the corporate lords all raise the stakes

Chorus

America, America

You're killing us slowly

America, America

You're killing me

Bridge

There's fire in the sky and blood on the ground

The walls are closing, this city's going down

It's the end of an empire, the death of a dream

A land of the free, or so it seems

Chorus

America, America

You're killing us slowly

America, America

You're killing us slowly

America, America

You're killing us slowly

America, America

You're killing me

Outro

You're killing me

Killing me

Killing me

Killing me

Killing me

Killing me

Killing me
