That's the Thing About America
Wanna know what Uncle Joe thinks? We oughta take them tanks and guns and bombs And load them planes and get them boys and girls on home
That gets my dad mad, boiling red Revved up vein poppin' outta his head Sayin' you pull out now, you shame the ones Who fought and bled and came home dead
For your right to gripe, left to right Then momma shouts, boys hush your mouth Grab a plate and bow your heads And be thankful when the grace is said 'cause...
That's the thing about America You can dream or do or say what you wanna You can run it down if you can back it up You can burn the flag or be the man Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red That's the thing about America
Now the coffee and the TV's on And we're eating the pie handed down From my grandma's side from her grandma When she arrived back in '25
She tells us all again Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com How her mom came off of that big boat With all them folks all skin and bones And an angry mob sayin' go back home
Now the anchorman says they're making plans Fencing up the Rio Grande Aunt Kitty drops her fork and shouts Amen And granny says hell just let 'em all in
That's the thing about America You can dream or do or say what you wanna You can run it down if you can back it up You can burn the flag or be the man Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red That's the thing about America
That's the thing about America You can dream or do or say what you wanna You can run it down if you can back it up You can burn the flag or be the man Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red That's the thing about America That's the thing about America
