'Merican
Artist- The Descendents
Album- Cool to Be You
VVV(LYRICS)VVV
we flipped our finger to the king of england
stole our country from the indians
with god at our side and guns in our hands
we took it for our own
a nation dedicated to liberty
justice and equality
doesn't look that way to you
it doesn't look that way to me
the sickest joke i know
[chorus]
listen up man, i'll tell you who i am
just another stupid american
you don't wanna listen
you don't wanna understand
so finish up your drink and go home
i come from the land of ben franklin
Twain and Poe and Walt whitman
otis redding, ellington
the country that i love
but it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan
haymarket riot and the great depression
Joe McCarthy vietnam
the sickest joke i know
[chorus]
i'm proud and ashamed
every fourth of july
you got to know the truth
before you say that you got pride
[chorus]
Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns
shrinks pushin' pills on everyone
cancer from the ocean
cancer from the sun
straight to hell we go
[chorus 2x]

Reminds me of Bad Religion.

Haha it's funny.. They teach us kids to not steal, not bully, not kill, and.... thats exactly what our society does. They bullied native Americans our of their land, we start wars, and so on. It's terrible. I love this song though. <3

This song is true. American's tend to be willfully ignorant of how America was made and what happens here until someone mentions it and then they get all defensive.

I think who ever made this is American because that cartoon represented the world and mankind, not America or an American. America is not the entire world haha

@CreepTheaters i couldn't find any good pictures that represented specific American stupidity, so instead i used that picture to represent what just doesn't show up in a US based Google search. Maybe American internet searches do not yield any negative representations of America. -_-
