America First Lyrics

[Verse]
Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones need it the worst
Let the rest of the world help us for a change
And let's rebuild America first

Our highways and bridges are falling apart
Who's blessed and who has been cursed?
There's things to be done all over the world
But let's rebuild America first

Who's on the Hill and who's watching the valley?
And who's in charge of it all?
God bless the Army and God bless our liberty
And dadgum the rest of it all

Yeah, men in position are backing away
Freedom is stuck in reverse
Let's get out of Iraq and get back on the track
And let's rebuild America first

Why don't we liberate these United States?
We're the ones who need it the most
You think I'm blowing smoke? Boys, it ain't no joke
I make twenty trips a year from coast to coast

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
