HISTORY WILL JUDGE US WHO WILL THERE BE TO BLAME
 
VERSE1
WE WENT OFF TO SCHOOL AND OUR TEACHER WAS THE BOSS
MOM & DADDY TAUGHT US THERE WERE LINES YOU DIDN’T CROSS
TO THE FLAG WE PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE OUR HANDS ACROSS OUR HEARTS
AND THERE WAS NO COMPLAINING BOUT ONE…“NATION UNDER GOD”
 
VERSE 2
A LAND OF IMMIGRANTS, ALL COMING HERE BECAUSE
THE WORDS “WE THE PEOPLE” WERE MORE THAN JUST A CLAUSE
BUT FREEDOM FOR THE FREE CAN COME AT QUITE A COST
YOU STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT OR WHAT IS RIGHT GETS LOST
 
CHORUS
WE LEARNED AND SANG ABOUT OUR LAND FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
BACK THEN NO ONE FORGOT THE WORDS “MY COUNTRY TIZ OF THEE”
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED…
SOME SEEM TO WANT THE WHOLE THING UP IN FLAMES
OR JUST GO WATCH THEIR FAVORITE TEAM… NO ANTHEM SANG
 
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL IS BEING RE-ARRANGED
HISTORY WILL JUDGE US…WHO WILL THERE BE TO BLAME
 
 VERSE3
WHAT WOULD OUR FOUNDING FATHERS SAY TO US TODAY?         
OR THE YOUNG MEN NEVER GROWING OLD, WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES D-DAY
AND THOSE BEFORE AND AFTER …   HOW DO WE ALL REPAY
IF YOU DISAGREE, USE HONOR WHEN LIBERTY’S AT STAKE
  
CHORUS
WE USE TO LEARN AND SING ABOUT OUR LAND FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
BACK THEN NO ONE FORGOT THE WORDS “MY COUNTRY TIZ OF THEE”
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED…
SOME SEEM TO WANT THE WHOLE THING UP IN FLAMES
OR JUST GO WATCH THEIR FAVORITE TEAM… NO ANTHEM SANG
             
 BRIDGE:
TO BURN THE FLAG SOME CLAIM THE RIGHT
HOW SHOULD WE READ THE LAW
WHERE I COME FROM IT’S PLAIN AS DAY     
THERE’S LINES YOU NEVER CROSS
  
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL IS BEING RE-ARRANGED
HISTORY WILL JUDGE US…WHO WILL THERE BE TO BLAME
 
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL IS BEING RE-ARRANGED
HISTORY WILL JUDGE US… WHO WILL THERE BE TO BLAME
 
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL IS BEING RE-ARRANGED
HISTORY WILL JUDGE US… WILL WE BE TO BLAME
