Mother America
Mother America
How could you Abandon your Children?
Due Process, Habeas Corpus, Freedom of Expression, Pursuit of Life and
Liberty
Why have you become the Whore of Corporate Greed
Why do you lie with the Money Machine, the Right Wing, the Religious
Fanatics
Why do you treat your own Disadvantaged
Vets, Children and the Poor with a Bastard's Contempt?

Father America
Father America
Why do you rape &; pillage another's land and call it
Liberation?
Oh Father America
How can you call yourself a Christian - Christ Like
When you poison a country's drinking water
Use your Veterans - inject them, reject them
When you are done and they are sick with Desert Storm Disease
Throw them aside like used condoms?

Oh Mother America
Oh Father America
You reject your Own to rape another's Resources
When will Freedom Ring?
