Once the religious, the hunted & weary
Chasing the promise of freedom & hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom & pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near & far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled & bore a child
To be their spirit & guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle & wagon it went
And ´til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole & bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near & far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled & bore a child
To be their spirit & guiding light
The blue & grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has it is share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it is protectors & friends have been sleeping
Now it is a monster & will not obey
(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom & justice
And it is keepers seem generous & kind
It is leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won´t pay it no mind
´Cause the people grew fat & got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law & order
But it is all just an echo of what they´ve been told
Yea, theres a monster on the loose
It is got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin´
Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin´ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can´t understand
We do not know how to mind our own business
´Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we´re fighting a war over there
No matter who has the winner
We can not pay the cost
´Cause theres a monster on the loose
It is got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching
(America)
America where are you now?
Don´t you care about your sons & daughters?
Don´t you know we need you now
We can not fight alone against the monster
