American Yankee

AMERICAN YANKEE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Take it or leave it

You can't believe it

Has justice really gone this bad?

It's the saddest day in every way

And freedom has been all but bagged

The price that you're paying

Well, you're not saying

I suppose the truth is still there

But it's the way that it's done that is leaving you stunned

Are you the only one who cares?

This is America the great

It stinks in here, I have to say

This is a Yankee Doodle place

There's nothing left but a lonely face 

This is America the great

It has become a pure disgrace

This is a Yankee Doodle thing

There's nothing left to brag about 

Love it or leave it

You can't conceive it

Has everyone just gone insane?

The power of the people cannot develop 

While the government keeps playing its games

Too much red tape to investigate

And the flag can no longer wave

It's the way of the new land you ignorant young man

Just slaves right to your graves

This is America the great

Too bad you can't make your escape

This is a Yankee Doodle date

With another communist face

This is America the great

Come on in, you know you're late

This is a Yankee Doodle drink

Without your hat it's hard to think

Uncle Sam is on the rise my friend

Telling lies again

The way it always is and has always been

Father time has left our side again

Can't face the bitter end

The way it always is and has always been

And will again

Take it or leave it

You can't retrieve it

The thought of it just gets you down

 It's the constitution of the new revolution 

That keeps on coming back around

This is America the great

It stinks in here, I have to say

This is a Yankee Doodle place

There's nothing left but a lonely face

This is America the great

It has become a pure disgrace

This is a Yankee Doodle thing

There's nothing left to brag about

Nothing left to sing about
