"America" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
Yeah
(Shotgun)
Peace!
Eh, yeah, eh
Aristocrats on a mountain climb
Makin' money, losin' time
Communism is just a word
But if the government turn over
It'll be the only word that's heard
Chorus:
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
Little sister make minimum wage
Livin' in a one-room jungle monkey cage
Can't get over, she almost dead
She may not be in the black
But she happy she ain't in the red
Chorus
Freedom — Love — Joy — Peace
Jimmy Nothing never went 2 school
They made him pledge allegiance
He said it wasn't cool
Nothin' made Jimmy proud
Now Jimmy live on a mushroom cloud
Chorus {x2}
Freedom — Love — Joy — Peace
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! (Oh Lord)
And the bomb go
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! (Oh Lord)
And the bomb go
Boom!
Teacher, why won't Jimmy pledge allegiance?
