Lyrics
PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
THE OTHER DAY I WAS TALKING TO A GENTLEMAN
FROM THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY OF FRANCE
& HE GAVE ME THAT OLD SONG & DANCE
OF HOW US AMERICANS SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED
WITH THIS COUNTRY IN SUCH MOREL DECAY
SO I LOOKED THAT FRENCHMAN RIGHT IN THE FACE
& THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO SAY
CHORUS
I'M PROUD TO BE AMERICAN
& EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SAY
WHAT YOU THINK FEEL & SEE
IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE THEN GET OUT & STAY
THIS IS THE LAND OF LIBERTY
I'LL DEFEND OLD GLORY TILL MY DYING DAY
RIGHT AGAINST ANY WOMAN OR MAN
I WAS BORN RIGHT HERE IN THE GOOD OLD USA
& FOR HER I'D GLADLY TAKE A STAND
BRIDGE
WHEN HITLER TRIED TO TAKE OVER YOUR COUNTRY
IT WAS AMERICA THAT SAVED THE WORLD
FROM THAT COLD HEARTED tyrant
TRYING TO TURN THIS WORLD
INTO A LIVING HELL
YEA AMERICA HAS BEEN LIKE A MOTHER & FATHER TO ME
YOU SAY THAT ALL OF US AMERICANS CARE ABOUT IS MONEY
& OURSELVES YOU SAY WE'LL NEVER BE
THE POWERFUL COUNTRY WE USE TO BE
WELL I BEG TO DIFFER
CAUSE WHEN your COUNTRIES IN NEED
WERE ALWAYS THE FIRST TO GIVE A HELPING HAND
WHEN YOU PUT ALL OF US AMERICANS IN THE SAME CATEGORY
THEN FRIEND YOU'VE MADE ME MAD BECAUSE I LOVE THIS LAND
TAG
I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
& THIS IS ONE AMERICAN PATRIOT THAT TRULY DOSE GIVE A DAMN
