I hear this America screaming, "Our time so greatness is at

Belligerance the
song of their band I hear this America screaming, "Close the
door to the

our
country!" building another weapon tossing aside the hippies'
please
dropping bombs headed for the next century I hear this america
screaming,
"Come join us! Be free!"...but i'll build my own house i'll light
my
own fire i'll do anything...that i feel...is me
