America
Keith McDonald
July 2000
I used to believe in
America
Thought it was home
of the free
Now I don't believe in
America
Cause America
I say America
She don't believe in me
I was born and raised in 1963
Saw what happened to Kennedy
All them soldiers going to Vietnam
Doing their best bit for their Uncle Sam
I used to believe in
America
Thought it was home
of the brave
Now I don't believe in
America
Cause America
treats me
Just like a slave
The west was won there in America
Sure is fun there in America
Bought my guns there in America
The setting sun's there in America
(music and effects interlude)
I used to believe in
America
Thought it was home
of the free ... yeah
Now I don't believe in
America
Cause America
I say America
She don't believe in me
I pledge allegiance to the United States of "Know" One
