Am               C            G          Am
we flipped our finger to the king of england
F            C          G       Am
stole our country from the indians
Am                G        F          Am
with god at our side and guns in our hands
F                   E7
we took it for our own

a nation dedicated to liberty
justice and equality
doesn't look that way to you
it doesn't look that way to me
the sickest joke i know

[chorus]
C           G         F             Am
listen up man, i'll tell you who i am
just another stupid american
you don't wanna listen
you don't wanna understand
F                 E            Am
so finish up your drink and go home

i come from the land of ben franklin
Twain and Poe and Walt whitman
otis redding, ellington
the country that i love
but it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan
haymarket riot and the great depression
don't get caught in vietnam
the sickest joke i know

[chorus]

F               E
i'm proud and ashamed
                  Am
every fourth of july
B
you got to know the truth
        E
before you say that you got pride

[solo]
[chorus]

Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns
shrinks pushin' pills on everyone
cancer from the ocean
cancer from the sun
straight to hell we go

[chorus 2x]
