[Verse 1]

We flipped our finger to the king of England

Stole our country from the Indians

With God on our side and guns in our hands

We took it for our own

A nation dedicated to liberty

Justice and equality

Does it look that way to you?

It doesn't look that way to me

The sickest joke I know

[Chorus]

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don't wanna listen

You don't wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

[Verse 2]

I come from the land of Ben Franklin

Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman

Otis Redding, Ellington

The country that I love

But it's a land of the slaves and the Ku Klux Klan

Haymarket riot and the Great Depression

Joe McCarthy, Vietnam

The sickest joke I know

[Chorus]

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don't wanna listen

You don't wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

[Bridge]

I'm proud and ashamed

Every Fourth of July

You got to know the truth

Before you say that you got pride

[Verse 3]

Now the cops got tanks, 'cause the kids got guns

Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone

Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun

Straight to Hell we go

[Chorus]

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don't wanna listen

You don't wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am

Just another stupid American

You don't wanna listen

You don't wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

Finish up your drink and go home
