You say this is the land of opportunity
Talk about individuality
You got a big flag that says "Don't tread on me"
But what't that got to do with the likes of me and all the... (Cho)

Chorus:
Young people at the birth of life
Poor people in the pit of life
Old people at the end of life
That's how you judge a country!

You can be anyone take your pick
Even the president if you're slick
Like Ronald and Lyndon and Gerald and Dick
Unless you're hungry, himeless and sick like all the...

You don't care about use when we're in school
Unless we learn to play by your rules
We're not learning nothin' we're nobody's fool
We're just being trained to be a reich man's tool

You say I complain with no solution
Of poverty,war and polution
Some of us are coiming to a comclusion
We're just gonna have to make a revolution
