America, I Believe In You

(album: Freedom And Justice For All - 2003)

We got some trouble in our own back yard.
Things are are kinda tough, times are kinda hard.
Got a lot of people living out in the street, people going hungry without nothing to eat,
and in this land of plenty, this souldn't be going on.
We got enough for everybody we just gonna have to pass it along.
Well I'm glad about the fall of communism, I'm glad about the
Berlin wall, and I like seeing old Saddam bite the dust, in fact I'm glad about it all.
And I believe in helping everybody,
but when it comes to all them foreign loans,
I think we oughta remember that charity begins at home.

Yes it starts right now in (America, America,)
I know the sun is rising on a better day.
(America, America,) we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) well let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you.

Now I been trying to figure this out, but there's something that I just don't know.
How can you make things better when you
take our jobs, and send 'um down to Mexico?
And then there was this big shot, from the land of the rising sun.
He said the working people in America were lazy and dumb.
Well let me tell you something Jack.
The next time I go on a shopping trip, and take something off of the rack,
if it don't say, "Made in the U.S.A." I'm just gonna put it back.
We can't leave it to the politicians, cause they don't do nothing but talk,
and it's we the people that are gonna have to walk the walk.

And we can do it right now in (America, America,)
hey I know the sun is rising on a better day.
(America, America,) yeah we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you.

Well we got the best dang farmers in the whole wide world.
The fastest horses and the prettiest girls. We got the Army, the
Navy, Air Force, and Marines, the mightiest fighting force the world's ever seen.
We the kinda people that can get thins done,
We're serving notice that we're still number one.
We got the nerve (We got the nerve.), we got the will,
(We got the will.), we are all together cause you know that we are still.

(America, America,) well I know the sun is rising it's a rising on a better day.
(America, America,) hey, hey we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) cause I believe in you.
