Demo version of this song recorded with Paris on lead vocals and guitar, Lisa on base, and me on keys.

All the people try to say what's good for me
Try to tell me that the land is free
In America, beacon of the free
What I see is not how it's ment to be
Bobby harvested amber waves of grain
At least until the bank took the land away
Now he can't afford to put bread on the table
When he used to do it for a thousand other people

In America Beacon of the Free
In America I'm a refugee
In America Land of Liberty
My America Give it back to me

Wrong side of the tracks, tried to get away
Hard to make a move with one foot in the grave
A tin roof castle and seven hungry children
Laid off from my job, starve another day

In America Beacon of the Free
In America I'm a refugee
In America Land of Liberty
My America Give it back to me

They say that money talks, but I ain't hearing a damn thing
If good things come to those who wait, I'm out of time
Sworn to protect and serve, just ain't doing a damn thing
Some people fill the world with hate, Have they lost their minds?

In America Beacon of the Free
In America I'm a refugee
In America Land of Liberty
My America Give it back to me
In America
In America
In America
My America

Havin' picnics on the 4th of July
Grandma's servin' up her hot apple pie
Son and Father fishin' down by the stream
Come on everybody live the American Dream

In America
In America
In America
My America
In America
In America
In America
My America
