New America Lyrics by MARINA
Everything that made you great only made you bad
Made the people hate all the good they had
I know that you had big dreams, that you had big plans
But abuse won’t make, won’t make a free land
You got a white picket fence and your dad’s got a gun
And when you see the police, there’s no reason to run
You got a job and a car and a good dental plan
You got health insurance, pocket money, damn
America
America, America
You can’t bury the truth
It’s time to pay your dues
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
Fucked with the food chain, fucked with the farming, too
And now our food don’t taste like it’s meant to do
They’ve got blood on their hands ’cause they stole all the land
And all the lives they erased made them feel like a man
Who gave you jazz, hip-hop, rock’n’roll, and the blues?
No matter what, history’s catching up on you
America
America, America
You can’t bury the truth
It’s time to pay your dues
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
White teeth, dark smile
You’ve been in pain for a while
You can’t hide your secrets, we can see
America
America, America
You can’t bury the truth
It’s time to pay your dues
Stars are shining for you
‘Cause freedom’s coming soon
America
This is a new America
Stars are shining for you
Sparkling red and blue
