Here in America I'm proud to say
That everyone's free and everything's OK
Do what you feel cos it's all good
Live how you want and not how you should
This is America land of opportunity
We kill our babies and we worship nudity
Our government's corrupted, sin is accepted
Forget about Jesus, cos he is rejected
Make your own god, worship yourself
Put the Bible on the shelf
Here in America we do what we want
We're a Christian nation believe it or not
Now it ain't alright and it ain't all good
Let me tell you something you've misunderstood
The red, white, and blue just ain't in my blood
Maybe it's because of what this country's done
Now if we were founded on In God We Trust
We gave it up for sinful lust
Now there will come a day when we're gonna pay
So America turn back the other way!

I am an American and the country in which I live
Is a country of hope and happiness and freedom it will give
But I don't see it that way because this holy blessed land
Has turned its back on the great I Am and jumped from His holy hand

Cruise the strip, gotta look real cool
Turn up the bass, act like a fool
Bad rap on the stereo
Act so tough, put on a show
Daddy bought you a brand new car
Down the road you go so far
Don't you got better things to do
You probably do, but you'll never know
Whoa-ohh
You're only sixteen but you know it all!

And I'm so sick of all you sheep
You're stuck in your own world so deep
So follow what the crowd's doing
Your weekend quest for popularity
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh go

American brat you got it all
You're so proud but you're gonna fall
Disrespect all authority
It's your strip, do as you please
Trespass on the property
Be real loud, disturb the peace
Drink, have sex, spread your disease
You call it rebellion, I call it conformity
But you gotta be what you gotta be!

And I'm so sick...

I need a job
I need somethin' to show me I ain't nothin'.
I need money, I need moolah, and I need it fast.
I need a job I gotta start workin'.
I'm getting sick and tired of moochin'.
There are things I want to do, and I need cash.
But I'll show the world.
They say I'm wrong but I know I'm right.
I'll show the world with my God by my side.
I'll show the world.
Maybe I'm a dreamer far from reality.
They see a loser, baby, when they look at me.
I should conform to this society,
But I say no thanks cause I'm gonna reach my dream.
And I'll show the world...
They call me clown. People look at me and frown.
But I'm followin' Jesus, and He's got my crown .
Maybe I should grow-up, but I'm in it way to deep.
Maybe I'm a disappointment.
I'm the family's black sheep.
But I'll show the world...

Life's been getting harder every day
I don't know what to do or what to say
Nothing seems quite right, I think I lost my fight
Do you think I'll live to see another day?
You know I hate the job that I've been working at
But life just seems to go like that
Out here on my own, well, I feel so alone
Father, won't you let me come home?

Could you help me, father, could you help me out?
Could you show me what to do or what to say?
If you can't I understand, cos I know you're just a man
You're my father, so that's OK

I still don't know what I want to be
The world around me seems so crazy
Criminals in power, the streets no longer safe
What kind of man would I want to be?
There's a girl I love and you know I want to marry
She's everything I hoped she would be
So poppa if you would, give some tips to help me out
So I'll know how to raise a family

Now I know you're not the wisest man to ever walk the earth
But I know Someone who just might be
So I'll stop stressing you with all the questions that I have
I'll go to the One who gave you me

If I keep to Your Word and I pray everyday
You promise to show me Your way

You tell me that you're praying for me
You tell me I'm blind that I can't see
You tell me I'm bound and I need to be set free
But it's hard to believe 'cos you're just like me
You tell me I have a drug-alcohol addiction
Yet you offer no way out, no solution
You tell me if I don't change my ways I'll be condemned to hell
Well, maybe you're right, but oh well

It's so easy to show me what I'm doing wrong
It's so easy to point out all my sins
But what about you, aren't you supposed to show me love?
Isn't that how you Christians are supposed to live?

You tell me I need to follow Jesus and change my ways
But why would I want to be like you, you always seem so ashamed
You tell me I need to get saved from this fiery pit
But who wants to serve the God of a hypocrite?
Until you start to practice what you preach
don't ever expect me to change the way I live.

Hollywood's been trying to make new friends with the aliens
By sending them our culture and our ways of life and all of our trends
Transmitting music and TV shows and all the cool clothes
Hoping for approval from the aliens but nobody knows

Oh, they're sick of our movies
They're sick of our lies
They're coming to see us
Baby get ready for a big surprise
They're bringing their weapons
They're going to shove us around
The robots are coming to bomb the city, destroy the town
Hollywood is burning down

I need a job
I need somethin' to show me I ain't nothin'.
I need money, I need moolah, and I need it fast.
I need a job I gotta start workin'.
I'm getting sick and tired of moochin'.
There are things I want to do, and I need cash.
But I'll show the world.
They say I'm wrong but I know I'm right.
I'll show the world with my God by my side.
I'll show the world.
Maybe I'm a dreamer far from reality.
They see a loser, baby, when they look at me.
I should conform to this society,
But I say no thanks cause I'm gonna reach my dream.
And I'll show the world...
They call me clown. People look at me and frown.
But I'm followin' Jesus, and He's got my crown .
Maybe I should grow-up, but I'm in it way to deep.
Maybe I'm a disappointment.
I'm the family's black sheep.
But I'll show the world...

I'll talk to you tomorrow
I'll show you love another time
I'll be your friend tomorrow
Even though you'll die tonight
So many people, so many hurts
But you're the one who stands out
I see your sorrow and it makes me cry
You need to know what love's about
The Maker saved me
He could save you too
I wish that I could know you
There are better days
There is some hope
You could be happy and it's true
You don't have to be sorry
You don't have to put on a show
I'll tell you of His love, but now I'm busy
So I guess you will never know
I'll talk to you tomorrow....

Go follow the flock your poseurs, 'cos you're just like everyone else
You're the sheep of the U.S. of A.
The youth can't think for themselves!

The most popular bands in America are tellin' you what to do
And if you had a mind that was your own I hope you'd use it too
The media lies to us every day
You're being told what to hear
Hate and greed and adultery
Fight against them if you dare
But nobody will stand up
If you do then you're a jerk
'Cos MTV's the culture
Does fighting even work?

So follow the flock...

Your favorite band is singing trash but you say that you don't care
The media says they're in this year so that's what you want to hear
You think that you're rebelling
You got things figured through
You got to fit the image that Hollywood gave to you!
In a country full of zombies
Who is gonna steer?
When the majority is dependent on TV, drugs, and beer?

So follow the flock...

I parked the car, I went inside
I left you there I don't know why
But I wish I'd taken you in with me
I was hanging out with my pals
I swear I didn't hear you shout
But if I did I'd have been there and you'd still be here with me
Wake up from this dream
I'm so upset that I could scream
How could this happen to me?
Who could've done such a thing
An evil deed that was in vain
Why did they take you from me?

And I was going home that night
When I received a fright
I saw that you were gone, oh, I could cry

Where are you now?
I wonder who is your new owner
I still like to sing these songs you used to play
I wish you'd come back to me
Make it how it used to be
But that will never happen so now someone has to pay
Curse the ones that took you
Curse their evil ways
Curse the ones they love
Curse them all their days
If I find out how they are
I'm going to make it right
They're gonna give you back or there's gonna be a fight

All the selfish people in the world today
We'll be held responsible
We're gonna pay
You can't fall asleep
Cos in your lives we'll creep
And then we'll take it all away

Now love is one thing and sex is another
But they got together like bread and butter
People think they know it all but they are confused
That's why so many people get hurt and used
Now I'm waiting for you and you're waiting for me
So believe it or not I think we're meant to be
We've been through the smiles and we've been through the tears
We've been though hell and heaven in the last four years
Let me tell you something cos I think you're ready
I'm your boy and you're my honey
So open your ears and close your eyes
And baby get ready for a big surprise

Hey, you're the one who makes me happy
You're the one I want to marry
You're the one I want to be with oh oh oh
So please don't tell me no
I don't want you to go
You're the one I want to wake up with

Now when I first say you my eyes were glued
Forgive me, darlin', I don't mean to be rude
But you were the cutest mama I ever did see
So many guys agree I guarantee
But if you hurt me again I don't know what I'll do
I don't want to be alone I want to be with you
So many times you confuse me and I don't know what to do
But then again I'm a guy and I don't have a clue

Now love can be a very complicated thing
So don't confuse it with lust because it ain't the same
I know I love you from the bottom of my heart
You're God's creation, you're a work of art
Now I feel sorry for those who don't know how to love
It's a wonderful thing, it's a gift from above
Now baby I love you and I hope you can see
It's about time you married me!

Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cos they just don't like me

Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cos I'm trying to help you see

Coporate capitalistic pigs, all you ads are fake
Keep lying to the sheep out there
But I won't take the bait
Use Pepsi and Nike, oh and VH1
Calvin Klein and Tommy Jeans make it look so fun!
By using all of the popular bands
They're selling out for more money
When will all of this end?
Let's exploit sex and more through our videos...

Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cos we won't lose integrity

What you like is popular 'cos you have all the dough
Turn the kids to zombies they don't care 'cos they don't know
Feed us lies and greed and garbage on the radio
There's better music out there but you don't want us to know!
So advertise through mainstream movies, show off your logo
Stick it to some dumb pop superstar that everybody knows
Totalitarian America that's just how it goes!

Why can't we be a part of your game?
Why can't we have your fortune and fame?
Why can't we all just be the same?
'Cos we're not clones and we can think for ourselves!
