lyrics

This is U.S.

(Verse 1)
Before Columbus ever came to this place
Through fabricated discoveries that they’ve claimed to have made
Their were established civilizations that were prepared for us
Over 50 million already lived in the Americas
As we settled on top of the Rock at Plymouth
That was previously an abandoned Platskud village
Which would only make it easier for the next slaughter
With cleared fields, prebuilt shelter, and fresh water
Everything we needed in a confined residence
Taking credit for pre-existing organized settlements
Even dug up dead bodies and stole possessions
Then reburied them at the sites that they were kept in
As we continued to pillage and conquer the nation
Through the common dishonest process of colonization
But these events have been omitted by the liars
Cause history can only be rewritten by survivors

(Chorus)
From the greatest country of all time (This is U.S.)
From a nation made up of false pride (This is U.S.)
Where false lies tend to cost lives (This is U.S.)
And everybody’s on the wrong side (This is U.S.)

(Verse 2)
On September 7th, 1813’s
When’s the United States would get it’s first nickname
From Samuel Wilson of Troy, New York
A meatpacker who would ship barrels of beef for the war
Then mark the barrels with a U.S. stamped acronym
That the army referred to as Uncle Sam after him
Not only for providing edible supplements
But a personification of the federal government
Then by the time that the late 80’s were finished
Political cartoons began popularizing the image
Of Uncle Sam that would continue to evolve
To the white beard and suite draped in striped and stars
Then the most famous version by James M. Flagg
With the big blue jacket and tall top hat
And his index finger pointed back at the viewer
During World War 1 as an active recruiter

(Chorus)
From the greatest country of all time (This is U.S.)
From a nation made up of false pride (This is U.S.)
Where false lies tend to cost lives (This is U.S.)
And everybody’s on the wrong side (This is U.S.)

(Verse 3)
This whole country’s too at odds to even understand
There’s no “us” cause the U.S. stands for Uncle Sam
We need specificity towards our own unity
Instead of just collectivity over community
Which only leads to aggravation of the soul
Cause our leaders are only a fragmentation of the whole
Only serving the purposes of a small group
At the expense of veterans and all of the armed troops
So how could we call it a citizens war?
When you leave all of our problems and larger interests ignored
Cause an aware conscious that’s burdened with guilt
Has to find the good in others to be murdered and killed
So we should start to ask ourselves what kind of nation are we?
People used to live cooperatively before patriarchy
But still we never ask the where and the why
Ignorant and further enforcing American pride

(Chorus)
From the greatest country of all time (This is U.S.)
From a nation made up of false pride (This is U.S.)
Where false lies tend to cost lives (This is U.S.)
And everybody’s on the wrong side (This is U.S.)
