[Matthew] Dear America [Allyson]Dear America [Matthew] Dear America [Allyson]Dear America [Matthew] Dear America [Allyson]Eww yeah [Matthew]Yeah I had a talk with I had a talk with I had a talk with I had a talk with I had a talk with I had a talk with dear America [Verse 1: Matthew] I had a talk with Thomas Paine He said you need common sense alive again The national debt is immense Meanwhile more money is spent If we owe so much Then how can we triple it on our children's expense You see it doesn't make sense And don't take my word when you see it first Open up a book and do your own research Send a soldier overseas to fight a war When we can't even defend our own border Dear America [Allyson] Dear America [Matthew] Dear America [Allyson] Dear America [Matthew] Dear America [Allyson] eww yeah [Verse 2: Matthew] And so many people wanna talk about healthcare But who the hell cares If the government collapses and can't repair You think then they going to worry about our welfare? Yeah right It's time to stand up it's time to unite I'm tired of all the pointing the fingers When neither side is completely right Wanna take away guns to stop all the k**ing But can't keep d** out of a prison Now if y'all could do it I'd be with it But it's not realistic If anything history has told me something different The prohibition didn't work War on d** left an empty purse And criminals don't obey the law Man even presidents got they head blown off Anybody can get k**ed So live your life to fullest everyday for real [Allyson]Dear America Dear America Dear America [Matthew] Dear America [Allyson] Dear America [Matthew] Dear America [Allyson] Dear America [Matthew] Dear America Eww Yeah [Verse 3: Matthew] Hmm And we still got a really long way to go Before you hear what I'm saying on the radio So let's teach the children and build a nation A whole lot better than the one we're facing And sometimes I feel like the older generation got to die Before I can survive As a man on my own cause their stuck in their ways And I'ma be the same one day Hearing some punk telling me to move on Thinking that this kid is wrong When rocking roll came out they thought it was the devil The way Elvis shook his hips didn't really seem to settle In the mind of the parents And this is going to take some time that's apparent That's why I wrote this letter to America So you can share it even if I perish Always try to cherish and when it comes to marriage Leave it to the state stop all of the hate Cause that negative energy isn't in the pearly gates
