Welcome to the home of the free, The land of the divided Welcome to a land filled with greed, The one-percent who have the need To silence dissent, keep those below them Complacent in a system that favors money Over ethics and honesty Welcome to a nation full of deceit, Land of misinformation and misery. Welcome to a nation where the wheels spin propaganda for a leader. Welcome to a nation where a leader   Forgoes democracy and takes a page From a communist and dictator, Crowning himself King of the ages. Who needs dignity when you've got vanity? Who needs honesty when you're a liar? Welcome to a nation where truth doesn't matter Welcome to a country on fire. Divided, we stand, divided we fall. America the Beautiful, America the tall. Who will be there to save us all?

Divided, We Stand
Welcome to the home of the free, The land of the divided Welcome to a land filled with greed, The one-percent who have the need To silence dissent, keep those below them Complacent in a system that favors money Over ethics and honesty Welcome to a nation full of deceit, Land of misinformation and misery. Welcome to a nation where the wheels spin propaganda for a leader. Welcome to a nation where a leader   Forgoes democracy and takes a page From a communist and dictator, Crowning himself King of the ages. Who needs dignity when you've got vanity? Who needs honesty when you're a liar? Welcome to a nation where truth doesn't matter Welcome to a country on fire. Divided, we stand, divided we fall. America the Beautiful, America the tall. Who will be there to save us all?
Inspired by Sixx: A.M.'s "Barbarians." What a strange timeline we live in these days.
