Like a million huddled masses, Still braving fear and strife
Our fathers settled on these shores, To build a better life

Even though I'm just a simple man, Tryin' to stand his ground
I have watched in silence long enough, While the land I love's torn down

Have you lost your faith in government, Well, I know how that feels
But when you burn the flag of freedom, boy, It's like burning our ideals

I won't disrespect the blood, of martyrs and patriots
Who paid the highest price, To give those rights to us, Nah

------------------------------------ CHORUS ------------------------------------------

Cause I'm free, baby now, Freedom, watch your mouth
Don't put this country down, When a man like me's around

So tired of political lies, Runnin' through the world to apologize
We may get it wrong sometimes, But, thank God for all we get right - Yeah, thank God, thank God
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so tired of , these political hacks
And corporate millionaires , Hidin' in their ivory towers
While they bleed the country bare

What's the point of Town Hall Meetings, If you don't listen to us
When you call our seniors angry mobs, It's you who's out of touch

Like the singer trashin' soldiers, Who fight to keep us free
Well, to me he's just a lap dog, For the Hollywood elite

He was "Born in the USA" uh huh, yeah
Now this, red, white and blue, Sure made you alot of green
You can call yourself "The Boss", But you ain't no boss of me!

(Chorus)

Is this the land of the free, the home of the brave?
Cause I swear I hear the founding fathers calling from the grave...

------------------------- REFRAIN ----------------------------
Oh, say can you see, Oh, say can you see
Can you see?
Yeah, Is that flag still wavin' free? Yeah
Oh, say can you see? Oh say, say can you see?
Does it still wave? Oh, still wave for you and me?
Yeah, Yes it does!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

(Chorus)

Where would the world be? If we weren't there defending liberty!
