Step into the madness of a million city streets
Where dealers sell white powder and children stand and 
bleed
Where local gangs are vicious and cops are so impure
That schoolboys carry Uzis so they'll feel secure.

Where fathers rape their daughters and beat up on their 
sons
Until the mother tries to stop him and goes and buys a 
gun
Where the local church is closed except a couple times 
a week
And turns its face from all the homeless in the street.

This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice and liberty, if you got the 
money.

And the CIA ships heroin to finance their secret wars
They sell the madmen weapons then send soldiers to 
their land
And in the name of God we battle for all the oil under 
the sand.

This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice and liberty, if you got the 
money.

Step into the madness as a thousand points of light
Illuminate the warheads for the final fight.
Step into the madness, say your prayers and drink your 
tea
Get ready for a kinder, gentler world war three.

This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice and liberty, if you got the 
money.
