They used to treat us with the utmost respect
Now checks and balances go unchecked
The world points at us at laughs
With a promise of greatness, we sent in the worst we had
A blue suit filled to the neck with vile
A red headed clown, with a show on the prime time dial
Everything stuck to Obama like glue
Teflon Don he broke right through
We'll never be the same
We came so far
Have mercy
Oh, we'll never be the same
It's who we are
Have mercy
Pants ignite like a meadowlands flame
Lookin' for open palms to place the blame
America's dominance has come full circle
Democracies lion's been silenced and tamed
The confederacy rides again!
Alt-right? We're always right! Time to repent for your sins!
Look at the lap dogs, all their tails wag
While they're waving Chinese made flags
We'll never be the same
We came so far
Have mercy
Oh, we'll never be the same
It's who we are
Have mercy
It's like it's funny, but it's not
Smilin' to keep from crying is all I got
Where did America go wrong?
When did my country tis' of thee forget the words to our song?
Our sea to shining sea is polluted
Lady liberty embarrassed she's been prostituted
The red states say I'm overreactin'
But you can see it my eyes I need a reaction
It's all fun and games to blame the man who tried hope and change
But it's in poor taste to deface the man
Who wants to build walls he's vain, and unqualified
On Twitter he's bitter and undignified
90 million people said they couldn't give a damn
And the ones who did vote all fell for this sham
You see it never should have been about choosin' sides or bein' great
That's just exercising your right to hate
We'll never be the same

I'm at a loss for words
Maybe I shouldn't speak
God forbid that I protest
Then you're considered weak
People marching in the streets
They're just as mad as me
While the 45th is on the hill
Pretendin' that he can't see
You can see it in our eyes
You know we won't compromise
You'll never earn our trust
Because it's obvious
That everything that comes out of your face is probably a lie
Please tell the truth
Tell the truth please lie no more
Tell the truth please lie no more
This is where we take a stand
We're singin' "This Land Is Your Land"
And you've lost our trust
Because it's obvious
That everything that comes out of your face is probably a lie
Please tell the truth
Tell the truth please lie no more
Tell the truth please lie no more
To the republic for everything which it stands
For the people all over the world, show em' you give a damn
Don't matter if you're black or white, if you're old or the prime of your youth
Everyone say it loud, to the man upon that hill I demand the truth!
Don't lie to me!
Tell the truth please lie no more
Tell the truth please lie no more

It's All Bad (Acoustic)

Terrible, terrible
It's all bad
Tear it all down
Let's throw a riot party and start over
In the center of town
Have you noticed that the police are the army?
The army brings the guns and the tanks
That's when you see the atheist sittin' at the dinner table
Praisin' the lord and give thanks
Dude, I ain't even sad
Because it's all bad
Horrible, horrible
I've been thinking
This is a new hell
Thawed out, ain't frozen
Somebody ring the bell
Kinda seems like the devil is god
And god is a number I've heard
The smart are gettin' wiser
And the dumb keep gettin' dumber
And the flockin' sheep are leadin' the herd
