It's just another day in News Speak Nation

Our country tis' of thee
sweet land of the liberty
of thee I sing


It's a News Speak Nation while CNN drones on
they just want you to sing along.

Now the people wonder where we went wrong.

Land where my fathers died
land of the Pilgrims pride


It feels like one big dream
why don't you sing with me?

From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring


While the news keeps blasting on
how we don't get along
the wars keep marching on
It's a News Speak Nation
spreading fear, n' damnation
when every one of us can say
our ancestors made their way
through stormy sea's
to kiss the ground, and pray.
Don't believe what the politicians say
they just want to have their way.
Buying votes as they crack their jokes
playing games with our votes.

Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.


While the gap of the rich and poor
widens deep
the middle class can't compete.
