I used to believe
in the land of liberty
and the land of the free

There once was a place
where there were no laws
for none were needed
in this magical place
called America

Where English was spoken
there was no "dial one"
Where God ruled the land
with his firm hand

Where people trusted each other
where did this land go?
Where did the people go?

Where are my brothers in arms
that fought beside me in 'nam

We worked at the barns
and we worked with the cattle
We stayed up from dawn til dusk

The cowboys who used to roam
now sad and alone
do they sit

Singing to the blue corn moon
Telling tales of days now old

This country now gone
and wasted

Corporations outgrew the family farm
Greed overtook love
and the country that used to have
morals
freedom
liberty
justice
now all corrupt

due to
Televisions
wealth
cellphones
laptops
random things
we really don't need

over took my land of liberty
This is a song of sorrow
lost love
and how one nation under GOD
is now a nation *without
