America from Metal by Dylan Reed Gerding

Don't read the headlines no americana left
It went to the shitter when we put it to the test
When you come home you will not say you're on your own
I guess you believe it even though you know it's wrong

But I can and will be my own man
Please will you help me understand
I can and will be my own man
If I can

Don't blame the people 'cause they're all just animals
They make your fortune while you take away their homes
And though there's nothin' left to keep you on your feet
Won't you believe it even though it can't be seen

But I can and will be my own man
Please will you help me understand
I can and will be my own man
If I can

Suit you up with a gun and a knife and then they leave you on your own
Steal your name, put a price on your head "kid, do it for your home"
We were not the first ones here but the kids don't need to know
Just sit back and ride the wave on a mortgage that they own (just do it)
Everyone around you getting thrown into a pile
Everything around you, throw it in the fire
Things would be much better if we were all the same
But everyone around you is just another person living
