lyrics

America is a thing of the past
she's a painted up girl and her makeup won't last
democracy has become deceased
and we can't see the forest when we cut down the trees

come one come all and join in the charade
this is the great american way
now don't you cry and don't be afraid
this is the great empire parade

we'll pay the cost to treat your disease
if the profits are high and expences are cheap
we'll steal your home and then sell it for less
but not back to you cause that wouldn't make sense

come one come all and join in the charade
this is the great american way
now don't you cry and don't be afraid
this is the great empire parade
