Oh, America the Great!

 

                   Oh, America the great!

The land of accidental discovery

The land of oppression

The land of racism

The land of “liberty”

 

Oh, America the great!

The nation of brutality

The nation of discrimination

The nation of inequality

The nation of “allegiance”

 

Oh, America the great!

The country of disconnect

The country of confrontation

The country of white territory

The country of “equal opportunity”

 

Oh, America the great!

In God We Trust the Klu Klux Klan

In God We Trust the Jim Crows Laws

In God We Trust the police brutality

In God We Trust the “justice for all”

 

Oh, America the great!

The society of crime

The society of unemployment

The society of uncompleted promises

The society of the “home of the brave”
