Lyrics

America is
America is
America is
America is
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream so f-f-full of it

Look at the indians
Look at the blacks
Look at the figures
Look at the facts
Check out the facts
The facts not the lies
When you find out
Big surprise

America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream so f-f-full of it

Check out the indians
Check out the blacks
Check out the figures
Check out the facts
Check out some facts
Check out the facts not the lies
When you find out
It's a big surprise right between the eyes

America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream so f-f-full of it

American dream is only a dream
No desperation limit
New desperation level
Even though my nose don't work
I smell trouble I smell trouble
No desperation limit
New desperation level
Murder, mureder in the goverment
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry
No desperation limit
New desperation level
Turn the key
Turn the lock
Nationalism
You can suck my.
No desperation limit
New desperation level
Watch the worl's progressin'
Everywhere
Aggresion, aggresion
Aggresion, aggresion
Aggresion, aggresion

Gordon gano: vocal, guitar
