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.)
