Lyrics
<lyrics>Ain't that bad a place I was born that way I bite my fingernails Still got bills to pay You should know what to say I'll put you in your place Land of the free I'm on my way
I love the USA I love the USA Fuck yeah this place is great I love the USA
Stop at Coffee Bean This is like a dream Let's run across the beach Mama, what's the deal Nothing's wrong with me Still waters running deep Home of the brave Dog on a leash
God save the king God save the king God save the king Won't feel a thing
Planes up in the sky There's a missing man A boy who didn't make it </lyrics>
