i have seen my own reflection i have tasted my own breath
i've been places that i never should have been but u scare me to death
sister suzie went to the big house 10 months later she had a kid
they say the rape wasn't part of her sentence obviously it is if she knows that it is
she did her time and got off the island she came with nothing and left with less
on her way out she passed the statue of liberty and cried
you scare me to death
america, america god shed his grace on thee
america, america when will we be free
brother billy joined the army gonna make a difference that's what he said
cause uncle sam would never harm me he's gonna keep my family fed
now he doesn't sleep cause when he counts sheep they jump the fence and they fall dead
so from his hospital window he flips off the whitehouse and screams
you scare me to death
god bless america land that i'm from
stand beside me please hide me
from the man with the boms and the guns
he scares me to death
