America The Beautiful...again
America, the beautiful...
do you see what I see?
A country stuck on life support
A dead economy?
America, America...
.please take a breath for me
Ford, GM and Chrysler
Are no longer the big three
Our plants are closed
Our dollar *****
the Dow Jones is joke
Our people can't afford to live
Our dreams went up in smoke
America, America
You'll come back once again
But now you're flat upon your back
On an eight count out of ten
Your soldiers fight, For what is right
On shores so far away
There's battles that need fighting though
Inside the USA
America, America
Please get up off your knees
Most of what we buy from you
Is made by the chinese
Your country has come back before
We're sure that you'll be fine
Recovery won't happen fast
Your eight count's up to nine
America, America
Before they count you out
Stand up and yell
without a doubt
We'll triumph once again.
We'd love to hear Kate Smith once more
Sing out about how great
America can be agian, Before it is too late
America, America
God Shed his Grace on Thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From Sea to Shining Sea.
