[Intro]
Let's do this
You guys just follow me, alright? I got it
You know the Hot Country Knights have played shows
In all forty-eight 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, uh, 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, USA, USA)
That's right, now these days
These day—hey, woah, hang on, boys, woah, woah
These days there's a lot of people that wanna divide 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 all about addition
(Addition, addition, addition)
In fact, an American probably invented addition
The US, hang on
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" (Boo)
But I remember when those tags used to say "Made in the USA"
(USA, USA, USA, USA)
And that got me thinkin'
It inspired me to write this little song right here about twenty minutes ago
It goes—hang on, hang on
The US, hang on
I'm onto somethin', what I realized is the USA begins with us
It does, it actually begins with a 'U' and an 'S'
[Verse]
The USA begins with us
A freedom dream bought with blood
Together, we can stand as one
The USA begins with us (Mod if you're an American, come on)
The USA (We're all us) begins with us (Old people)
A freedom dream (Weirdos, woo) bought with blood (Bass players, hell yeah)
Together (Even bass players), we can stand as one (Hey, that's me)
(Yeah, that's you)
The USA (Freedom is not free) begins with us (It's expensive)
The USA begins with us
[Refrain]
I pledge allegiance, say it with me
I pledge allegiance to the hallowed be thy name
To the republic for which it stands and....
Amen
Yeah, one more time, one more time
Keep it goin', keep it goin' (USA, USA, USA, USA, USA)
USA, U-USA
[Interlude: Hot Country Knights, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy]
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
Yeah
Ask not what your country can do for you
Ask what you can do for your country
That's right
[Interlude: Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush]
Because people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook
Well, I'm not a crook
I did not have sexual relations with that woman
There's an old saying in Tennessee
I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says
"Fool me once, shame on, shame on you
Fool me, you can't get fooled again"
[Outro]
USA, USA
(USA, USA, USA, USA)
