Do You Remember America?

In the Home of the Brave
and the Land of the Free
prisons overflowing
and fear's our closest friend

Is there still Liberty
with no warrant wiretaps
Free-trade, trading our jobs away
until there's nothing left

Do You Remember America?
bring your huddled masses here
Do You Remember America?
shining city on a hill
Do You  Remember America?
land of opportunity
Do You Remember America?
are we really still free

They say John Adams said
"don't search for monsters to destroy"
our wars of choice have proven
that his wisdom is ignored

Democracy should work
for more than the elite
and in a land of plenty
why so many, can't get the care they need?

Do You Remember America?
bring your huddled masses here
Do You Remember America?
shining city on a hill
Do You Remember America?
land of opportunity
Do You Remember America?
are we really still free

Do the People have a voice
when our Reps deny our choice?
Majority opinion won't hold sway
Can we have faith in the dream
or is it all make believe
I keep hoping for a brighter day
