Lyrics
I come from the land of the good & just,
my head held high in god I trust,
they cant take that away from me.
Like an eagle you see my fly,
the stars & stripes my freedom cry,
living out the American dream
Chorus...
Listen up I got something to say
dont mess with the U.S.A
there is something that i heard today
you dont mess with the U.S.A
I want to hear Elvis Presley sing,
I want to hear Martin Luther King,
step on down where the angels live,
people can say just what they like,
you know they can take a hike,
they'd better take it as good as they give.
Chorus
You can be proud to say,
you come from the U.S.A,
you know you come from the promised land,
and if you dont know what I mean,
then ask New york or New orleans,
you can be proud to be American.
Chorus
