Our differences were what made us strong
That’s how it was always meant to be
Disagreements spawned enlightened discourse
Compromise if not agree
But now our news is entertainment
We only see what we wanna see
And the other side is so flat out wrong
We just become sworn enemies

Divided we stand
And United we’ll fall
It’s not so cliche anymore
It’s the simple truth, that’s all

What it means to be an American
(Is that) we like to set ourselves above
All because we’ve got the money and
The tanks to back it up
But our tanks don’t fight for freedom
Just an extension of our greed
To the few collecting all the riches
You and I will never see
“Make America Great Again”
Roll my eyes as I make my plea
I don’t want to be complicit
As we become the enemy

Nobody ever questions why certain
Issues never get resolved
Gun control, Abortion, find
Some compromise and move on
But those things are so divisive
The status quo will never change
So they keep us all divided
While the villains just get their way


Divided we stand
And United we’ll fall
It’s not so cliche anymore
It’s the simple truth, that’s all

What it means to be an American
(Is that) we like to set ourselves above
All because we’ve got the money and
The drones to back it up
But our drones don’t fight for freedom
Just an extension of our greed
To the few collecting all the riches
You and I will never see
“Make America Great Again”
Roll my eyes as I make my plea
I don’t want to be complicit
As we become the enemy


We’ll never have affordable healthcare
When we've got Big Pharma to feed
Politicians, bought and sold,
Controlled by corporate greed
Hamstring our schools and teachers
Limit what the people know
No need for education
Makes the sheep easier to control

Divided we stand
And United we’ll fall
It’s not so cliche anymore
It’s the simple truth, that’s all

What it means to be an American
(Is that) we like to set ourselves above
All because we’ve got the money and
The drones to back it up
But our drones don’t fight for freedom
Just an extension of our greed
To the few collecting all the riches
You and I will never see
“Make America Great Again”
Roll my eyes as I make my plea
I don’t want to be complicit
As we become the enemy

Welcome to the new America
Long faded red, white, and blue
United States of Dystopia
Our worst nightmares coming true
