America’s wealth America’s dream
Made of money-minded winners
Who in their wealthy way of much
Demean the destitute as sinners
Someone stole America
We need to place some blame
A country built on backs of slaves
Who now in freedom stake their claim
How dare those uppity others
Proclaim their Rights of Man
Clearly not from round these parts
Among the Right White Ku Klux Klan
Stolen people clamped in chains
Beaten whipped and stripped
Sold off like herds in cattle trades
A hopeless human cargo shipped
Strange fruits of freedom
granted
With scant protection from
the law
Deprived of basic
dignity
Hanging lifeless they
implore
This nation built from everywhere
A continent of human soil
Land rush gold rush piles of meat
Overfilled with spoils of oil
What is it with a murderous mind
Who can hate with all their heart
The people whose lives they wrecked
Segregated kept apart
Apart from massive wealth abundant resources and some of the most intelligent people on the planet, how else will America be great again?
