Homeland

 

Burning Crosses Light Our Way

Lighting Candles In A Church All Day

Fighting Neighbors That Won't Go Away

This Is Our Homeland

Book Burnings For The Beginner

Summer Picnics By Polluted Rivers

Swollen Bellies That Make Us Shiver

This Is Our Homeland

Singing Anthems In The Rain

Taking Drugs To Mask The Pain

Barren Landscapes And Hidden Grain

This Is Our Homeland

Planting Missiles Like So Many Crops

Soup Kitchen's Closed, Where The Buck Stops

Overruns And Payoffs And Similar Props

This Is Our Homeland

Politicians Who Kiss The Children

Handshake Agreements With The Indian

And The Lottery Is The Dream Of Millions

This Is Our Homeland

Video Preachers That Pray On Our Fears

Telethons That Draw Artificial Tears

Sportsmen Who Exterminate Deer

And We're Singing Anthems In The Rain

Home Of The Free, Land Of The Brave

If Only I Coud Remember The Refrain

And This Is Our National Anthem

This Is Our Homeland

Where The Meek May Inherit

But Only The Strong Will Reign (1984)
