'Merican      We flipped the finger to the king of England   Then stole our country from the Indians   With god on our side and guns in our hands   We took it for our own      Built a nation dedicated to liberty,   Justice, and equality   Does it look that way to you? It doesn't look that way to me   It's the sickest joke I know      Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am   I'm just another stupid American   But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand   Just 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 the land of the slaves, and the Ku Klux Klan,   The Haymarket Riot, and the Great Depression   Joe McCarthy, Viet Nam   It's the sickest joke I know      Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am   I'm just another stupid American   But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand   Just finish up your drink and go home      I'm proud and ashamed, every 4th of July   You've got to know the truth before you say that you've got pride      Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns   Shrinks pushing pills on everyone   Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun   Straight to Hell we go      Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am   I'm just another stupid American   But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand   Just finish up your drink and go home   Listen up, man, I'll tell you who I am   I'm just another stupid American   But you don't want to listen, you don't want to understand   Just finish up your drink    And go home
