Fourth of July

A lot has changed in this country since I was a kid Breaks my heart knowing what our government did They lied to us, they stole from us, it's all insane They're sending our hard-earned money over to Ukraine But I still get chills when I hear our anthem Even though our country's being held for ransom I can remember how it used to be Growing up in the home of the brave and the land of the free And I still love seeing our flag flying high on the 4th of July It's about we the people not this government of lies Step on my land and try to take it from me You're gonna be one sorry SOB Sometimes that's what it costs to remain free So keep my name out your mouth and don't tread on me I can't stand the things that they've done in our name Once your eyes are open, it's never the same Although the system's broken, we won't let it die We still love this country and you all know the reasons why Because I still love seeing our flag flying high on the 4th of July It's about we the people, not this government of lies Step on my land and try to take it from me You're gonna be one sorry SOB Sometimes that's what it costs to remain free So keep my name out your mouth and don't tread on me I can't stand the things that they've done in our name Once your eyes are open, it's never the same Although the system's broken, we won't let it die We still love this country and you all know the reasons why Because I still love seeing our flag flying high on the 4th of July It's about we the people, not this government of lies Step on my land and try to take it from me You're gonna be one sorry SOB Sometimes that's what it costs to remain free So keep my name out your mouth and don't tread on me God gave us these rights and they can't be taken away Anyone who tries will be put in a grave It's not a threat, we just wanna be left alone We'll do what we most to defend our home
