America, The Free

The Free

Shouting from the hilltop

Come on like a saviour

Looked like the messiah

I saw bombs on teevee

I watched the candle burn

Hatred in the fire

America, America, America the free.

War for freedom

Liberation

Fighting terror

Fighting hatred

I saw hostages

I saw prisoners

I saw the heads fall

I saw the torture

I saw the preacher

I saw it all

America, America, America the free.

There was insurrection

There was an invasion

There was television

There was revolution

There was annihilation

He was our retribution

America, America, America the free.
