America the Beautiful
America, home of the brave
But the brave ones are not home
Most soldiers here lie in their grave
Or are sleeping in sea foam
America, land of the free
And for most it seems that way
But minorities disagree
For hateful words, unequal pay
America, the beautiful
With skies shrouded in smog
The seas the next big garbage hull
The forests down to logs
Our country has such great sayings
That get people through their days,
But in the end these things aren't staying
In a multitude of ways
I love our country, bleak and broke
With flaws and problems full
Cause in the end, after I croak,
It's home, however dull
America, our home sweet home,
Needs lots of work to thrive
With prestige high and morals stone
But that's up to our drive
We can change things for the better
We can make our country great
So it can live up to its letter
And 10 of 10 the world will rate
America was once the best
And soon, again, we'll pass that test
