[Verse 1]
Welcome to the land of milk & honey
This is where your braves died to be free
Living in those days for love or money
Left your heart and soul at wounded knee
[Verse 2]
History and time are all you have now
You were free from sea to shining sea
But that's no matter to the folks who live here
You only ride your ponies on TV
[Verse 3]
We've got everything you'll ever need
We've got everything you'll ever need
Everything you'll ever need
America, America
America, America
[Verse 4]
All your pride was wasted, ain't it funny?
You never tried to bite the feeding hand
Welcome to this land of milk & honey
Where they keep you fenced on burnin' sand
[Verse 5]
War dance for the customers on Friday's
Birth rights up for sale in tourist stores
Carved your land and faces on your mountains
Crazy horse can never tie the score
[Verse 6]
We've got everything you'll ever need
We've got everything you'll ever need
Everything you'll ever need
[Verse 7]
America, America
America, America
America, America
America, America
America, America
America, America
America, America
