"The leads are weak."
"The leads are weak; fucking leads are weak? You're weak."
x 2
[Verse 1]
Remember when
America had a
middle class a
nd an upper cl
ass?
That was way b
efore the exod
us.
That was the A
merica that we
thought was n
umber one,
thought would
overcome, thou
ght would neve
r die.
That was just
our pride and
faith: two shi
tty deadly sin
s;
I know faith i
sn't one of 'e
m but it shoul
d have been,
'Cause when th
ings were crum
bling, we had
no camaraderie
,
just a faith s
omeone would s
ave us from de
spondence.
[Chorus]
We called it A
merica, whoa.
We called it A
merica, whoa.
[Verse 2]
"Number one Am

to keep morale
up when we kn

Mexi-Can-Ameri
ca was the per
fect name
that epitomize

significance,
authority and
affluence.
We had turned
it all around,
went from num
ber one,
straight to nu
mber two (shit
).
[Chorus]
We called it A
merica, whoa.
We called it A
merica, whoa.

[Bridge]
National bankr
uptcy, circumc
ised society.
USA, dined and
ditched;
Fox reports "p
oor is the new
rich".
[Chorus/Outro]
We called it A
merica, whoa.
We called it A
merica, whoa.
We called it A
merica, whoa.
We called it A
merica, whoa.
We called it A
