lyrics

Hold me down and mess me up
I'll be chasing heaven 'til the sun comes up
Working like a dog just to keep my sanity
Oh the inhumanity is never enough
Yes

I did my time got myself an education
But blind capitulation well it ain't my scene
delusional authority millennial minority
We're shackled to the system in the land of the free

I wanna see all you angels
From sea to shining sea

CHORUS:
We're all red white and screwed tonight
We're saddled up and chasing the American dream
And we're all made in the USA
Another rebel generation on a murder spree

I had a friend who was a high school freak
He never had a chance never turned sixteen
He overdosed on the bathroom floor
I guess he never really knew what we were fighting for

Gunshot wounds and heart attacks
You'd better hit the ground running 'cuz you can't go back
Everybody dragged through the killing machine
Won't you try a little fire on your gasoline

I wanna see all you angels
From sea to shining sea

CHORUS

And I thank my lucky scars to be alive at all today
And I'm a straight white down to fight standing in the limelight
Born in the USA yeah

CHORUS
