_ Welcome to the United Snakes.
Land of the thief, home of the slave.
Grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred and proud.
Let's do the shift [F#m] wheel, come on now.
Smoking mirrors, stripes and [F#] stars.
Stolen for the cross in the [F#m] name of God.
Bloodshed, genocide, rape and [F#] fraud.
Written to the pages that a law could law.
[F#m] The cold continent latchkey child
ran away one day and started [F#] acting foul.
King of where the [F#m] wild things are, daddy's proud
cause the Roman Empire done passed it down.
Imported and tortured a workforce
who never healed the wounds or [B] shook the [F#] curse off.
Now the grown up [F#m] Goliath nation holding open auditions
for the part of David, can you feel?
Nothing can [F#] save you, you question the reign.
You get rushed in and stained up.
[F#m] Fish raised, but I must be insane
cause I [B] can't figure a single goddamn way to change.
Well, [F#m] welcome to the United [F#] Snakes.
Land of the thief, [F#m] home of the slave.
The grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred
and [F#] power is God.
Welcome to the [B] United [F#] Snakes.
Land of the thief, home of the slave.
The grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred
and power is God.
[F#m] All must bow to the fat and lazy.
The fuck you obey me and [F#] why do they hate me?
Who [F#m] me?
Only two generations away from the world's
most despicable [F#] slavery trade.
Pioneers [F#m] know many ways to degrade a human being
that it can't be changed to this day.
Legacy so ingrained in the way that we think
we no longer need change to be slaves.
Lord, it's a shame to display.
The overseer even got [F#] raped along the way.
Cause the children can't escape from the pain
and they born with the pause and this hatred in their veins.
Try and [F#m] separate a man from his soul.
You only strengthen him and [F#] lose your own.
But shoot that [F#m] fucker if you walk near the throne.
You mind him that this is my home.
Now I'm gone.
Welcome to the United [F#] Snakes.
Land of the thief, home [F#m] of the slave.
Grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred
[Bm] and power is [F#m] God.
Welcome to the United [F#] Snakes.
Land of the thief, home of the slave.
The grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred.
Hold up, give me one right here.
[F#m] Hold up.
You don't give money to the [F#] bums
on the corner with a sign bleeding from their gums.
Talking about you don't support a crack head.
What you think happens to the money from your taxes?
Shit the [F#m] government's an addict.
With a billion dollar a week, kill brown people habit.
Hey, even if you ain't on the front line
when that's the yell crunch time, you right back at it.
You ain't look at how you hustling backwards.
At the end of the [F#] year, add up what they subtracted.
Three [F#m] out of 12 months, your salary paid for that madness.
[F#] Madness is sadness.
What's left, get a big ass [F#m] plasma
to see where they made Dan Vather point the damn camera.
Only approved questions get answered.
Now stand your ass up for that national anthem.

Land of the thief, home of the slave.
The grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred
and [F#] power is God.
[B] Welcome to the United [F#m] Snakes.
