I am America... by Carl Mouritsen

You say America is fat and lazy,
but I am fit and work hard
and I am America.

You say America is racist and mean,
but I care for and try to serve all men
and I am America.

You say America has lost her values,
but I am honest, hard-working and kind
and I am America.

You say America lies and cheats,
but I am honest and fair
and I am America.

You say America is greedy and envious,
but I am content and happy
and I am America.

So, remember, when you point your
finger at this, our country,
that you, too, are America.

Carl Mouritsen
