[Verse Oh say can you see through the lies on the screen Our land of the free sold to business kings obscene From the factories dark to the Wall Street parks All we chase now is greed blinded by oligarchs [Chorus In the gridlock we stand with hopes sinking in sand Just a currency slave in this divided land With the flag still up high masking tears that we cry This is not why we fought just to live and to die [Verse2 Oh the amber waves of debt our chains we regret The land once brave now just a wealth-hungry net Where Trump sits high on throne with greed they condone While voices for truth and freedom barely grown [Chorus In the twilight's last gleam can we hold to our dream Or succumb to the trap of an endless scheme With the flag still up high masking tears that we cry This is not why we fought just to live and to die [Bridge From the red tape's harsh glare to abandonment's despair Will the spirit survive through this nightmare we share In the home of the brave we’ve been taught to behave Bound by chains of the dollar by the rich we're enslaved [Chorus In the land of the cheat under oligarch’s feet Just a cog in their plan for the elite's retreat With the flag still up high masking tears that we cry This is not why we fought just to live and to die
