"The USA Begins With US" lyrics - HOT COUNTRY KNIGHTS
[Intro:]
Let's do this
You guys just follow me, alright
You know the Hot County Knights have played shows in all 48 states
We've played for every kind of American and even a few Canadians
But this song is not for them
Alright, when we look out every night at our sold out crowds just like right here tonight in... anyway, we don't see black, white, or brown
No in fact we don't see colors, we only see red, white, and blue
(USA, USA, USA)
That's right, now these days, these days there's a lot of people that wanna undivide us
Well, I'm no math genius like all those smarty dudes up there in DC but I know division is the exact same thing as subtraction, am I right?
And the Knights are not about subtraction, we're about addition
In fact an American prolly invented addition
Now this mornin' I was checkin' the tag in my underwear make sure it was mine, it was
Now there's a little tag in there that says "Made in China"
But I remember those tags used to say "Made in the USA"
(USA, USA, USA)
And that got me thinkin', it inspired me to write this little song right here about twenty minutes ago
Hang on, hang on
I'm onto somethin', you gotta realize the USA begins with US, it does, it actually begins with the 'U' and an 'S'
The USA begins with us
A freedom dream born with blood
Together we can stand as one
The USA begins with us (Mob if you're an American, come on)
The USA (We're all us) begins with us (All people)
Freedom dream (Weirdos) born with blood (Bass players, hell yeah)
(Even bass players, Hey that's me)
We can stand as one
The USA (Freedom's not free) begins with us (It's expensive)
The USA begins with us
[Chorus:]
I pledge allegiance, say it with me
I pledge allegiance to how be their name
To the republic for which it stands and... Amen
[Break]
Yeah, one more time, one more time
Keep it goin', keep it goin'
USA, USA
[Break: Franklin D. Rosevelt]
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
Yeah
[Break: John F. Kennedy]
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country
That's right
[Break: Richard Nixon]
'Cause people have got to know if their president's a crook, well I'm not a crook
[Break: Bill Clinton]
I did not have sexual relations with that woman
[Break: George W Bush]
There's an old sayin' in Tennessee, I know it's actually in Tennessee that says "Fool me once shame on... shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again"
[Outro:]
USA, USA
