About the song
I feel that certain songs that grade school students in the US are taught are not really helping them to grow up in a better world, and see themselves as a part of a global community instead of a tyrantical and segrigating societly.
Lyrics
My country tis of thee
sweet land of liberty
to thee we sing
so i'm declaring independency
from imperial plutocracy
globally and individually
let freedom ring

Oh but My Country it tis of We
all the sweet people who love our liberty
all shapes and sizes from A to Z
if the peoples voice could lead as in a true democracy
then the governing elite would not preach white supremecy
its time that we do much more than just plea
for these creeps to set our country free
its time to throw a party like Boston harbor full of tea
December 1773, back then the elite charged a fee
and still paid no creedence to teh taxpayer's plea
the same is true today you see
and this country, It Tis of We

oh my country tis of thee
a sweet land of liberty
to thee we sing
