AMERICA NEVER WILL [ country-folk-rock ] Click Here for Free Song Download Hidin' behind silk-tie lies, you send our children to fight your evil wars When it comes to fightin’ one yourselves, you hide behind rich connection doors You ignore homeless veterans, call heroes traitors who refuse to kill Maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will No, we’ll never, ever forgive you, not in a million years Nor generations who outlive you drownin’ in a million tears You sacrifice our children’s future as Babylon's whore drinks her bloody fill An' maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will You let victims of a flooded city drown in bureaucratic tape Give tax breaks to the rich while the rest are capital gang-raped You cut funds for poor kid's lunches, healthcare an’ every social ill Maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will No, we’ll never, ever forgive you, long as this cruel world shall remain May your names go down in infamy, spin masters of dirty rotten shame You divided our martyrs’ garments and crucified our human rights bill An' maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never will You ignore our planet’s warnin’ signs an' take our once respected name And you thrash it, an' slash it and trash it into a beast of planetary shame Now, when the sun fades away and stars no longer shine An’ the final trumpet has blown heraldin’ the end of time You’ll stand before the great throne and answer up for all the blood you spill An' maybe Jesus will forgive you, but America never, ever will So, go on pretend we’re the traitors, Lord knows, we love America still Maybe Jesus will forgive you, no doubt he knows, America never, ever will * * For my friend Alex of Brooklyn, who was on the bridge on September 11, 2001 when the first tower was struck.  Thanks to Nashville songwriter Judy Klass for detail advice, who was also in New York City on that tragic day.             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher and signed by the author.  Inquiries: Freedom Tracks Music ~ Records, 292 Trails Circle, Nashville, TN 37214 or requested via eMail.  Essays entitled Revolution and Revolution -- Side B are open copyright and may be reproduced or utilized as often as one likes.
