Dm
As if i really didnt understand
Bb
That i was just another part of their plan
C
I went off looking for the promise
Dm
Believing in the Motherland
Dm
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
Bb
And the safety of my own head
C
I went on speaking of the future
Dm
While other people fought and bled

Bb
The kid I was when I first left home

Bb
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

Bb
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I was made for America

It's in my blood and in my bones

By the dawn's early light

By all I know is right
Bb
-C
We're going to reap what we have sown

Vers 4
Dm
As if freedom was a question of might
Bb
As if loyalty was black and white
C
You hear people say it all the time-
Dm
"My country wrong or right"
Vers 5
Dm
I want to know what that's got to do
Bb
With what it takes to find out what's true
C
With everyone from the President on down
Dm
Trying to keep it from you

Her shining dream plays in my mind

By the rockets red glare

A generation's blank stare

We better wake her up this time

Until the land of the free

Is awake and can see
Bb

And until her conscience has been found
