"America the Great"

Location

Is it really all that great

The land of the free

Is actually quite expensively 

The land of the brave

Where people seem to crave 

Is there some way we can save

The people on the streets 

With nothing left to eat

The people who crave drugs

That crave what's only in their mugs

The people judged by color

When they might as well be scholars 

Genders should be equal

Because life is only a sequel 

Sexuality shouldn't be judged

Because it makes mascara smudge

For the people who dropout

Is because they have their doubts 

Everyone seems to pout

You're the one who chose this route

We the people 

Should not judge

To make the people's faces smudge 

The land of the free

The land of the brave

Is something we all should strive to save
