lyrics

I am not an champion I am not a idiot
I am not American I am not a citizen
divvy up the borders their drumming up a war
going to teach these cowards what they deserve
like cowboys in card games they're hedging their bets
crossing their fingers they're holding their breath
maybe the future will die when its old
our houses since buried our land since been sold
our future our projects our profits potential
governed and stupid driven to rubble
so grant no rest for weary men the humble or the arrogant
freedom from embarrassment says I am Unamerican

I don't mind the bullets and I don't mind the drugs
I don't care if people want to shoot each other up
and I don't care if people want to sleep in the same bed
if they're paying other people to put roofs over their heads
and I would like the history of American mythology
there are no apologies
I submit the policy
God don't bless America
You didn't make America
of torture and hysteria
I renounce America

Now I pray that trees can hold on to their leaves
The changing of the season is change I can believe in
there are sovereign nations just these bloated corporations with inflated expectations and they signed the declaration
and they nailed to the cross and they nailed to the floor
they nailed to your bed and they nailed on your door
so grant no rest for weary men the humble or the arrogant
are you not embarrassed yet I am unamerican
Give me a new America please a new America
