I woke up to a bitter storm (bitter year)

And Noah's Ark came washed up on the shore

The riot gear has lined the dawn (bitter year)

Like dogs that shit on your neighbor's lawn

Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade

Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade

Back in the USA for a small town serenade

With fireworks on display

Tonight, it's a hero's welcome home

And there's no place else to go

And I'm takin' it to the grave

Back in the USA

The saddest story ever told (bitter year)

Is feeling safe in our suburban homes

Like soldiers of an endless war (bitter year)

And every church can have a liquor store

Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade

Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade

Back in the USA for a small town serenade

With fireworks on display

Tonight, it's a hero's welcome home

And there's no place else to go

And I'm takin' it to the grave

Back in the USA
