Once the religious, the hunted and
weary Chasing the promise of freedom and
hope Came to this country to build a new
vision Far from the reaches of Kingdom and
pope
Like good Christians some would burn
the witches Later some got slaves to gather
riches
But still from near and far to seek
America They came by thousands, to court the
wild But she just patiently smiled and bore a
child To be their spirit and guiding
light
And once the ties with the crown had
been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it
went And till the railroad linked ocean to
ocean Many the lives which had come to an
end
While we bullied, stole and bought a
homeland We began the slaughter of the red
man
But still from near and far to seek
America They came by thousands to court the
wild But she just patiently smiled and bore a
child To be their spirit and guiding
light
The Blue and Grey they stomped
it They kicked it just like a dog And when
the war was over They stuffed it just like a
hog
And though the past has its share of
injustice Kind was the spirit in many a
way But its protectors and friends have been
sleeping Now it's a monster and will not
obey
The spirit was freedom and
justice And its keepers seemed generous and
kind Its leaders were supposed to serve the
country But now they won't pay it no
mind Cause the people grew fat and got
lazy Now their vote is a meaningless
joke They babble about law and order But
it's all just an echo of what they've been
told
Yeah, there's a monster on the
loose It's got our heads into the noose And
it just sits there watchin'
The cities have
turned into jungles And corruption is
stranglin' the land The police force is
watching the people And the people just can't
understand We don't know how to mind our own
business 'Cause the whole world's got to be
just like us Now we are fighting a war over
there No matter who's the winner we can't pay
the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the
loose It's got our heads into the noose And
it just sits there watchin'
America, where
are you now Don't you care about your sons and
daughters Don't you know we need you now We
can't fight alone against the
monster
America, where are you
now Don't you care about your sons and
daughters Don't you know we need you now We
can't fight alone against the monster

instrumental break -----
America... (three
more times, then fade)
