Eww yeah

Yeah I had a talk with

I had a talk with

I had a talk with

I had a talk with

I had a talk with

I had a talk with dear America

I had a talk with Thomas Paine

He said you need common sense alive again

The national debt is immense

Meanwhile more money is spent

If we owe so much

Then how can we triple it on our children’s expense

You see it doesn’t make sense

And don’t take my word when you see it first

Open up a book and do your own research

Send a soldier overseas to fight a war

When we can’t even defend our own border

Dear America

Dear America

eww yeah

And so many people wanna talk about healthcare

But who the hell cares

If the government collapses and can’t repair

You think then they going to worry about our welfare?

Yeah right

It’s time to stand up it’s time to unite

I’m tired of all the pointing the fingers

When neither side is completely right

Wanna take away guns to stop all the killing

But can’t keep drugs out of a prison

Now if y’all could do it I’d be with it

But it’s not realistic

If anything history has told me something different

The prohibition didn’t work

War on drugs left an empty purse

And criminals don’t obey the law

Man even presidents got they head blown off

Anybody can get killed

So live your life to fullest everyday for real

Dear America

Dear America

Dear America

Dear America

Dear America

Eww Yeah

Hmm

And we still got a really long way to go

Before you hear what I’m saying on the radio

So let’s teach the children and build a nation

A whole lot better than the one we’re facing

And sometimes

I feel like the older generation got to die

Before I can survive

As a man on my own cause their stuck in their ways

And I’ma be the same one day

Hearing some punk telling me to move on

Thinking that this kid is wrong

When rocking roll came out they thought it was the devil

The way Elvis shook his hips didn’t really seem to settle

In the mind of the parents

And this is going to take some time that’s apparent

That’s why I wrote this letter to America

So you can share it even if I perish

Always try to cherish and when it comes to marriage

Leave it to the state stop all of the hate

Cause that negative energy isn’t in the pearly gates
