Proud To Be An American - or not

If tomorrow all our rights are gone,
we've worked for all our life.
And I had to live again,
in a world of sadness and strife.

I've lost the freedom I,
took for granted once and say,
This flag don't stand for nothin',
there's a new american way.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where my hate runs pure and true,
And I won't forget the men who tried,
to take this hate from you

And I sadly stand up,
next to you with hatred in my heart
For all the ingorance we all teach
to our children from the start.

From the KKK of Georgia,
to the people in the streets,
Across the plains of Texas,
the hatred comes in sheets.

From Main on down to Florida,
And New York to LA,
Well there's hatred in every American heart,
and it grows more every day.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where my hate runs pure and true,
And I won't forget the men who tried,
to take this hate from you

And I sadly stand up,
next to you with hatred in my heart
For all the ingorance we all teach
to our children from the start.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where my hate runs pure and true,
And I won't forget the men who tried,
to take this hate from you

And I sadly stand up,
next to you with hatred in my heart
For all the ingorance we all teach
to our children from the start.






Doesn't it make you proud to think that people can be so accepting and loving. That before all else, the one thing that can be depended on in the human race, is hatred for all things different, ignorance of all things better, and the acceptance of keeping this the status quo.
