We Called It America

Remember when America

Had a middle class and an upper class?

That was way before the exodus

That was the America

That we thought was number one

Thought would overcome, thought would never die

That was just our pride and faith

Two shitty deadly sins

I know faith isn't one of 'em, but it should have been

'Cause when things were crumbling

We had no camaraderie

Just a faith someone would save us from despondence

We called it America, woah

We called it America, woah

Number one America was a slogan used

To keep morale up when we knew we were already cooked

Then the richer western states

Succeeded in secession and the eastern ones followed right behind

Mexi-Can-America was the perfect name

That epitomized the order of significance

Authority and affluence

We had turned it all around

Went from number one, straight to number two (Shit)

We called it America, woah

We called it America, woah

National bankruptcy

Circumcised society

USA dined and ditched

Fox reports "Poor is the new rich"

We called it America, woah

We called it America, woah

We called it America, woah

We called it America, woah

We called it America
