My Country Used to Be
(to the tune of "My Country Tis of Thee)
by Grannie Pat

My country used to be
Proud honest, fair and free.
Not anymore.
What are we fighting for?
This is illegal war
With people dying by the score
All because George lied
Many children died.

My country used to be
Proud, honest, fair and free.
Not anymore.
Consumerism's king
Money rules everything
It really makes my conscience sting
Corporations whore
It makes my heart sore.

Democracy is dead
We have no say instead
We fight for oil.
This war we tried to stop
We know that it's a flop
But don't think, just go out and shop
Makes my blood just boil
That we kill for oil.

My country could still be
Sweet land of liberty
With solar power
We could have peace and love
Get our strength from above
We don't need to use push and shove
No one has to to cower
When we use our power

Concensus helps us see
That we should all be free
We value everyone
So no one would be shunned
Our voices all form harmony
You can sing with me
It will set us free
