WATCHING AMERICA

VERSE 1

Mc’s in this land get no prestige
Each Fan looking overseas to busy notice me
So it seems they don’t need homegrown heat,
Eyes closed to their own streets right? It’s like they don’t know me
Don’t own no CD’s of British origin but if its foreign and
The artist pulls on triggers? They follow him
They wanna feel American, so they dealing heroin
To kids yeah that’s real intelligent!
They’ve no morals folks are throttled poked with broken coke bottles
It so boggles the mind and those are your role models?
Man I could’ a wrote novels on murder or war
Same old squabbles furthermore you heard it all before
Should I rap about winners and dice gamblers?
And the sin that’s inside gangsters? Should I brandish
Weapons at innocent bystanders? Thing is I’ve manners
All I bring ya’s is English and high standards!

CHORUS

Why did you leave?
“We said we’d never let her go”
Believe in me
“We said we’d never let her go”
I’m all you need
“We said we’d never let her go”
You dream of me

VERSE 2

Musical performers shot, Mothers mourn a lot
Americas not born of god guns sold in every corner shop
Police fail population’s increase in jail,
Another day another rapist sees bail
Jesus and the grail forgotten, for your views end up in jail rotten,
Add a nail to the coffin
Americas a failure like Sodom and Gomorrah,
Tales of shocking horror guns on sale no stopping the dollar!
Bombs dropping yesterday what’s dropping tomorrow? Fix
The problem god do not bring apocalypse!
We got to live free god the kids need colleges
We follow this street politics
In neat offices theologists seek knowledge is
Justice a cheap dollar bitch? Yeah and we swallow this
We treat the news like we treat horror flicks when they body bagging’em
We holler, “This cannot be happening!”

CHORUS

Why did you leave?
“We said we’d never let her go”
Believe in me
“We said we’d never let her go”
I’m all you need
“We said we’d never let her go”
You dream of me

VERSE 3

The land of the free such vanity!
Plus anarchy Americas so much insanity!
Rich young sensitive kids becoming menaces
Living in some temple with religious fundamentalists
On college campus propaganda handed out what is with the planet?
Goddamn it, so what began with the prophet Mohammed?
Ends in bloodshed a whole nation is upset
So, every Asian is a suspect!
The crashing of planes into skyscrapers
Last thought to go thru each passenger’s brain is “Christ save us”
Go and find a weapon…
You can use our bodies as steppingstones to climb to heaven
9/11 the prequel to Armageddon the people of Iran threatened
Evil I’m betting Bush is to blame he built Saddam his weapons
Coz I stare at the box I’m aware of the
Cost and the terror the holy cross I bear just for watching America!

CHORUS

Why did you leave?
“We said we’d never let her go”
Believe in me
“We said we’d never let her go”
I’m all you need
“We said we’d never let her go”
You dream of me
