[Intro]
Yeah I'm an American and I've been watching these traditions pa** us by and all of them are bad!
Yeah we may act like we're rightful and all but inside we're ignorant
So it is my sworn duty....
In order to tell you about these traditions
In order to open your eyes and let you know
What. Goes. On...
[Verse 1]
In America, we have traditions galore
Especially when our military is in a war...
With dangerous terrorists so what do we do?
Well we as a whole act like ignorant fools
Pulling out our smartphones from overseas
Posting a US flag saying "support our industry"
Saying "d**h to ISIS" because our soldiers died
Without doing research asking questions why
We believe what's pushed in front of us
And that's because big media gives bucks...
To Web 2.0 because the employees know...
That an ad for Geico brings in big dough
We don't double check to make sure of the facts
Because we've been trained to instinctively act
On the fear, terror and empathy
Of a deadly attack on an american city
[Interlude 1]
Yeah you know what goes on...
You definitely know what goes on!
But do you really know what goes on?
I haven't even finished the verses on this song yet you don't know what goes on
So I'm going to tell you what goes on
I'm a tell you what goes on...
I'm a tell you what really goes on!
[Verse 2]
We put pride in family and good time scenes
We also put pride in pretentious things
Such as claiming to be one with all-mighty god
Drinking American Lager Beer and riding a hog
Being against gays, disabled people and other races
That's why we often stereotype places
Like the countries of Italy and Mexico
The former home of pizza, the latter full of sombreros
We're guilty of this too, we speak with a lisp
From New York to Boston to Texas; take your pick
But we as a country put it to the side
Because they foolishly believe in unified pride
Take a look at our country, do you feel happy
Especially when our social infrastructure is lacking?
We may have been the best, but we've fallen behind
Because our traditions haven't stood the test of time
[Interlude 2]
Yeah to you non believers out there
I'm going to make you believe...
I'm going to make you believe
I'm going to go into your mind change things and make you believe
Because... you should know
About the lies that have happened
About the traditions that you keep lacking
Yeah, listen up
Cause you can't stop listening
We give support to other countries when in trouble
But after a few months, we leave on the double
Because it didn't hold our interest for long enough
We just a**ume that things have gotten less rough
We rebuild quick but they're still having trouble
Shifting through all the pain and going through the rubble
We donate money to health and foreign aid
But we don't realize that Africa is being played
We don't want to be seen as persons of neglect
So we cancel events out of "support and respect"
People want a higher calling that they themselves can believe
But instead they're being s**ed into major greed
America was founded on freedom and equality
But bad seeds have since implemented fallacy
And turn the country into some rotten stuff
American Traditions we love you so much
[Outro]
Yeah that's my time, that's my time telling you about the american traditions
I hope this has opened your ears, opened your eyes, made you not blind
Made you change you mind
Made you see
Because you need to realize the truth is out there
And what I said is the truth
And you're going to go in that booth
And you're going to vote for the truth
Which doesn't exist so poof!
