“. . . America

Now it’s a monster and will not obey

The spirit was freedom and justice

And it’s keepers seem generous and kind

It’s leaders were to serve the country

But now they won’t pay it no mind

‘Cause the people grew fat and got lazy

And now their vote is a meaningless joke

They babble about law and order

But it’s just an echo of what they’re been told

Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose

It’s got our heads in a noose

And it just sits there watchin’

Our cities have turned into jungles

And corruption is strangling the land

The police force is watching the people

And the people just can’t understand

We don’t know how to mind our own business

‘Cause the whole world’s got to be just like us

Now we are fighting a war over there

No matter who’s the winner

We can’t pay the cost

‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose

It’s got our heads in a noose

And it just sits there watching

America where are you now?

Don’t you care about your sons and daughters?

Don’t you know we need you now

We can’t fight alone against the monster”
