AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE by MARK SHAPIRO


LAND OF THE FREE

Oh how glorious is America to me
The land of the free

Anyone can enter our country from which they flee
And have a better life like you and me

Nobody has to prove they belong
As long as they sing the National Anthem song

Loans, education, health are here to be taken for free
Though not for a person like you and me

For I was born in this country and told I had to pay my dues
Then I see others coming in having better chances and not even wearing shoes

America, land of the free, wheras generations fought for our rights
Only to see them trampled by those coming in during the darkest of nights

Politicans say we need them to work for less
Though it really has made our country a mess


Crowded classrooms, hospitals and rising taxes are the result of illegal entry
And our borders are guarded by a single sentry

Go to Mexico and live a life and sing a song
But you will see they will tell you that you dont belong

For gaining citizenship is the rule in every country in the world you see
Except for America, The Land of The Free
