Lyrics
[[Instrumental Intro - Rock/Alternative]
[Verse 1]
They say it's the land of the free,
But they cross the globe, from sea to sea.
When Washington speaks, the whole world listens,
But sometimes it feels like nobody's risen.
[Chorus]
Oh, America, you play the game,
You change the rules, but the prize stays the same.
From Lincoln to Biden, you lead the way,
But some might ask if you've gone astray.
[Verse 2]
From the days of Jefferson to JFK,
You were always bold, never played it safe.
But somewhere down the line, you lost the map,
Now you step on toes, and no one claps.
[Chorus]
Oh, America, you play the game,
You change the rules, but the prize stays the same.
From Lincoln to Biden, you lead the way,
But some might ask if you've gone astray.
[Bridge]
You send your soldiers, you drop your bombs,
In the name of peace, you write your psalms.
You tell the world how it should be,
But what about those who just want to be free?
[Verse 3]
From the streets of New York to L.A.,
You have your dreams, you have your say.
But not everyone wants the same,
Yet you insist on your brand of fame.
[Chorus]
Oh, America, you play the game,
You change the rules, but the prize stays the same.
From Lincoln to Biden, you lead the way,
But some might ask if you've gone astray.
[Instrumental Interlude - Rock/Alternative]
[Verse 4]
You hold the cards, you call the shots,
But sometimes it feels like you've lost the plot.
You try to lead, you try to guide,
But maybe it's time to step aside.
[Chorus]
Oh, America, you play the game,
You change the rules, but the prize stays the same.
From Lincoln to Biden, you lead the way,
But some might ask if you've gone astray.
[Outro - Rock/Alternative]
(The outro features a final guitar riff with fading vocals.)
Oh, America, where did you go?
The world's not the same, but maybe you know.
It's time to listen, it's time to change,
'Cause not everything needs to be rearranged.
