America, O America
Your land was once mighty
But as I see and watch
You have become quite lazyThus the American Nightmare
Is sugarcoated and shined
And money is your share
Of your security in liesAmerica, my America
A place of hopes and dreams
But dreams become corrupt
Now your mind bursts at the seamsAnd the American Nightmare
Is entering in our faith
And now I've heard my share
Of each and every greedy fakeAmerica, why America
Do you make yourself a whore
To what leaves you empty
And forever craving moreBut the American Nightmare
Affects my life just as much
As any living here
Longing for some money to clutchAmerica, sweet America
I am not at all perfect
Your corrupted ways have
Also led me to fall in itBut this American Nightmare
I say; will fall like everything
And then; all will declare
All glory belongs to the King
