Our world is corrupted The people disrupted Happiness interrupted Walking down the street is a challenge There’s pointing fingers, There’s danger around every corner Taught to assume everyone’s dangerous Taught not to be alone at night Taught to constantly be defensive for it seems everyone has a gun these days. Nothing can be said Nothing can be worn Without offending someone. America the beautiful America the afraid. America, from sea to shining sea America, pollution to destruction. America, thy liberty in law America, discrimination on the down low. So many ads destroying self confidence So many stereotypes for our kids to grow into So quick to blame others for our problems So quick to shame ourselves. America, the beautiful. Our world is corrupted. The people, disrupted. Happiness interrupted.

America, The Beautiful
Our world is corrupted The people disrupted Happiness interrupted Walking down the street is a challenge There’s pointing fingers, There’s danger around every corner Taught to assume everyone’s dangerous Taught not to be alone at night Taught to constantly be defensive for it seems everyone has a gun these days. Nothing can be said Nothing can be worn Without offending someone. America the beautiful America the afraid. America, from sea to shining sea America, pollution to destruction. America, thy liberty in law America, discrimination on the down low. So many ads destroying self confidence So many stereotypes for our kids to grow into So quick to blame others for our problems So quick to shame ourselves. America, the beautiful. Our world is corrupted. The people, disrupted. Happiness interrupted.
