Tom MacDonald - America

Tłumaczenie:

In recent times, the USA has become more alarming
Seeing that half of the Americans I come across hate America
They despise the police who are trying their best to protect us
And they kneel during the national anthem, disrespecting the soldiers we're laying to rest
I'm tired of the constant complaining and criticism
Why stay in America if all you do is harbor hatred towards it?
Thinking that it's brave to go against the nation
Real courage is dying for the right to speak your mind freely
Dear America, what has become of Americans?
Seemingly, no one is aware or finds it embarrassing, it's arrogance
Our historical enemies were slavery and terrorists
And now it's people within the country trying to erase our heritage

I can't help it, I just seem to view the world differently
It's not about Republicans or Liberals, it's about mental illness
The Internet is focused solely on leftist opinions
Cancel culture now holds more power than the First Amendment
If you don't agree, then leave, we won't defund the police
We don't want riots in our neighborhoods or streets
We respect freedom of speech, we defend what we believe in
We don't wish harm upon anyone, so please, do not tread on me

In America, freedom isn't free
In America, soldiers are dying overseas
So in America, we express our beliefs
My America, I will never take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you can't disrespect our flag
If the stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags
America

Does anyone know what happened to the patriots?
Recently, this nation is filled with shame and self-hatred
Has everyone forgotten the sacrifices made for this ungratefulness?
The United States gave everything to you just to help
I just want to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family
I don't need your reminders that it was a tragic history
Can't I just be grateful for my country and enjoy a meal
Without you trying to make me feel guilty for past tragedies?
I can't help it, I just seem to perceive the world differently
It's not about race, it's a conflict created by the system
I don't need your labels, I just see individuals
Some kids are abusing pills while others can't afford medications
If you don't like it, then hate it, but don't call it home
We have no tolerance for violence, no time for extremists
Reject the status quo, we are not animals
I won't kneel during the anthem, I stand for the flag

In America, freedom isn't free
In America, soldiers are dying overseas
So in America, we express our beliefs
My America, I will never take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you can't disrespect our flag
If the stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags
America

You can criticize the government yet still love the country
The core values of America are solid
Republicans and Liberals may be ignorant, to be straightforward
They are labels used to sow chaos and corruption
You can know the history and still be proud of your roots
Almost every flag bears traces of bloodshed
We began as the United States, now we're torn apart
If home is where the heart is, then show America some love

In America, freedom isn't free
In America, soldiers are dying overseas
So in America, we express our beliefs
My America, I will never take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you can't disrespect our flag
If the stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags
America
