As I look around today
It truly saddens me
When I see my brothers and sisters
Bound in modern day slavery

We now rely on the government
To supply our every need
Where'd you go home of the brave
Land of the free

What happened to the days
We did for ourselves
Where there was a will there was a way
Where a way there was a will

When we wanted something
We didn't have empty hands out
We grabbed ahold the grinding stone
Placed hands on the plow

All we seem to do now a day's
Is collect a check in our woe is me
In the home of the not so brave
Land of the not so free

Like I said when I look around today
It truly saddens me
When I see my brothers and sisters
Bound in modern day slavery
