Billy Bragg
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Long ago a land was built To be a shining city on a hill No kings, no aristocracy Just a belief in liberty And the tale that they were told in school Always follow this golden rule George Washington and the cherry tree Truth will set the people free But the truth is hard to take When your livelihood's at stake Better cover your mistakes And the buck doesn't stop here no more The buck doesn't stop here no more And so all the people saw That no one was above the law They took pride in their democracy All were equal, eventually But equal rights means equal say And some folk didn't like the way While their views were duly noted Come election time, they were out-voted So they used intimidation To preserve their domination This is a Christian nation And the buck doesn't stop here no more The buck doesn't stop here no more With their God and their guns, what are they fighting for? An all-American Sharia law? If the Bible is the sole source of authority Then we've no use for democracy If history teaches us one thing Never trust a man who would be king Who seeks all power for himself To burnish his prestige and wealth And a nation born in revolution Should know this offers no solution For there can be no liberty Where one man rules with impunity And the patriots have no shame To them it's all a game They've always someone else to blame And the buck doesn't stop here no more The buck doesn't stop here no more The buck doesn't stop here no more The buck doesn't stop here no more
