Lyrics Oh America! (Extended Version) - UB40
Oh,
America,
land
of
the
free
Your
flag
is
flyin'
but
it
looks
dirty
to
me
Oh,
America,
home
of
the
brave
Anywhere
you
go,
you're
leavin'
too
many
graves
The
chest
is
so
big
but
the
brain
is
too
small
The
whole
world's
cryin'
out,
"Just
stop
the
wars"
Don't
care
about
the
climate,
don't
care
about
the
poor
You
don't
seem
to
care
about
too
much
at
all
Oh,
America,
land
of
the
free
Your
flag
is
flyin'
but
it
looks
dirty
to
me
Oh,
America,
home
of
the
brave
Anywhere
you
go,
you're
leavin'
too
many
graves
You
say
you're
with
God
but
you
wield
Satan's
sword
With
kangaroo
courts
you
just
make
up
your
laws
No
human
rights,
oh,
yes,
we
know
the
score
The
bogey
man
is
close,
he
may
live
next
door
Oh,
America,
land
of
the
free
Your
flag
is
flyin'
but
it
looks
dirty
to
me
Oh,
America,
home
of
the
brave
Anywhere
you
go,
you're
leavin'
too
many
graves
When
the
floods
came
down,
it
showed
all
your
old
traits
Condemned
your
own
people
on
the
basis
of
race
Why
leave
vulnerable
people
in
a
vulnerable
place?
It's
a
crying
shame,
it's
a
freaking
disgrace
Oh,
America,
land
of
the
free
Your
flag
is
flyin'
but
it
looks
dirty
to
me
Oh,
America,
home
of
the
brave
Anywhere
you
go,
you're
leavin'
too
many
graves
I
say
the
government
man,
them
seem
to
get
it
wrong
Them
seem
to
make
a
whole
heap
of
bad
decision
Time
fe
good
Americans
to
stand
up
strong
Like
friends
over
there
we
know
for
so
long
Stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
Me
say,
stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
They
say
the
military
help
you
be
a
better
man
But
still
they
don't
really
care
about
the
veteran
And,
yeah,
I
did
a
couple
years
in
the
navy
Floating
in
the
ocean,
eating
rice
and
the
gravy
I
would've
never
went
if
I
could
have
went
to
college
But
they
were
like,
no
money,
no
knowledge
We
give
a
lot
of
bread
to
these
lame
institutions
But
most
of
them
teachin'
us
lies
and
not
solutions
See
how
they
rearrange
the
black
man's
contribution
And
now
they
got
the
nerve
to
go
and
change
the
constitution
The
birds
can't
fly,
the
sky
is
full
of
pollution
Earths
temperature
rising
like
the
crime
rate
in
Houston
Police
are
corrupt,
nobody
is
watching
the
borders
We
never
hear
the
truth
about
the
war
from
reporters
In
the
ghetto,
we
pray
a
lot
as
life
gets
shorter
Man,
my
heart
is
in
the
hood,
is
this
the
new
world
order?
Stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
Me
say,
stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
America,
certified
home
of
the
brave
We
got
freedom
of
speech
but
just
watch
what
you
say
In
America,
certified
land
of
the
free
And
you
can't
believe
everything
you
see
on
TV
Be
hoping
for
a
change
in
time,
you
wanna
vote,
stand
in
line
Different
races,
many
faces,
unifying
every
time
See
Clinton
or
Obama,
man,
could
help
relieve
the
drama
We're
grindin'
and
findin'
answers
while
they're
searching
for
Osama
See
soldiers
dyin'
and
mothers
cryin',
this
war
will
never
cease
Media
lyin',
America,
they
never
wanted
peace
Bush
is
a
beast,
he
snatchin'
oil
from
the
Middle
East
Let
the
rich
get
a
piece,
we
barely
make
it
in
the
streets
Overworked,
underpaid,
waitin'
on
government
aid
Fast
food,
bad
grades,
rush
me
to
an
early
grave
We
'bout
solutions
like
equal
funding
for
these
institutions
Knowledge
never
fails
and
college
keepin'
us
out
of
jail
From
the
left
to
the
right
to
the
front
to
the
back
Them
never
see
we
comin'
AD
UB40,
ah,
see
This
one
is
a
journey
Through
the
minds
with
lines
for
life
This
one
take
them
further,
ah
Ah,
hon,
me
say
America,
America,
can
you
stop
for
a
sec
Just
a
sec,
please,
can
you
just
look
this
way?
We
no
like
how
it's
goin'
down,
please
can
you
slow
it
down
Please
can
someone
explain?
How
the
building,
them
was
tall,
then
the
building
dem
ah
fall
And
the
people,
dem
ah
dyin'
for
no
reason
Just
give
me
a
reason
America
Stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
Me
say,
stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
Me
say,
stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
Me
say,
stand
up
firm,
me
say,
stand
up
strong
Time
fe
mek
a
new
day,
we
no
love
Babylon
