Benjamin, Alec - America Lyrics
You've been hanging your conscience on the fence
Cause you can't hold it
An empty promise laid to rest
A life is stolen
And there will be no consequence
Don't you know, what your father said?
We are the only
We are the brave
We are America, but
We are to blame
Stand up! Stand up!
Can you hear me now?
All I! All I!
Your voice! Your voice!
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, or we can make it
Fist up! Fist up!
Don't put your hands down!
All I! All I!
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice!
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, or we can make it
We've been biting our tongues for far too long
And they know it
They told us that hope would carry on
They really had us going
And there will be no consequence
For your sinful hypnosis
Don't you know, what your father said?
We are the only
We are the brave
We are America, but
We are to blame
Stand up! Stand up!
Can you hear me now?
All I! All I!
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice!
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, or we can make it
Fist up! Fist up!
Don't put your hands down!
All I! All I!
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice!
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, or we can make it

[Verse 1]
You've been hanging your conscious on the fence
Cause you can't hold it
An empty promise laid to rest
A life is stolen
And there will be no consequence
For what you've broken
Don't you know, what your father said?
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the only, we are the brave
We are America, but we are to blame
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now?
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh, we can make it"
Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down!
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh we can make it"
[Verse 2]
We've been biting our tongues for far too long
And they know it
They told us that hope would carry on
They really had us going
And there will be no consequence
For your sinful hypnosis
Don't you know, what your father said?
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the only, we are the brave
We are America, but we are to blame
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now?
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh, we can make it"
Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down!
All I, all I really want now is
Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:
"We can make it, oh we can make it"

@Peachy Tea That moment when Obama joined the conflicts and fed them and Trump is trying to get the American soldiers back home to stop playing world police. What do the dems want? America being the world police or not?

The point of this song isn't about American pride, it's actually the opposite. It's about how Americans are ignoring the horrible things that go on inside our country.
they were being sarcastic
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
