AMERICA NEVER WILL

Hidin' behind silk-tie lies, you send our children to fight your evil wars
When it comes to fightin’ one yourselves, you hide behind rich connection doors 
You ignore homeless veterans, call heroes traitors who refuse to kill           
Maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will

       No, we’ll never, ever forgive you, not in a million years
       Nor generations who outlive you drownin’ in a million tears
       You sacrifice our children’s future as Babylon's whore drinks her bloody fill
       An' maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will

You let victims of a flooded city drown in bureaucratic tape
Give tax breaks to the rich while the rest are capital gang-raped
You cut funds for poor kid's lunches, healthcare an’ every social ill
Maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will

       No, we’ll never, ever forgive you, long as this cruel world shall remain
       May your names go down in infamy, spin masters of dirty rotten shame
       You divided our martyrs’ garments and crucified our human rights bill
       An' maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will

You ignore our planet’s warnin’ signs an' take our once respected name
And you thrash it, an' slash it and trash it into a beast of planetary shame
                    
       Now, when the sun fades away and stars no longer shine
       An’ the final trumpet has blown heraldin’ the end of time
       You’ll stand before the great throne and answer up for all the blood you spill
       An' maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never, ever will

So,  go on pretend we’re the traitors, Lord knows, we love America still   
Maybe Jesus will forgive you, no doubt he knows, America never, ever will
