Not My Country

This country tis of thee

Sick land of misery

Of thee I sing

Land where the richest thrive

Land where the poorest die

From every mountainside

Apathy rings

 

My native country , thee

Land where you lied to me

I sing of you

Land where we can’t survive

Buy food and stay alive

From every mountainside

Let real truth ring

 

Let music swell the breeze

Let all the homeless freeze

I cry for you

Land where the dollar sign

Is seen in every line

If you can’t earn a dime

Too bad for you

 

Freedom is a dead word

It’s value now absurd

To thee I sing

Land where my father died

Believing all the lies

From every mountainside

Let shame be seen
