lyrics

"American Crisis" by The Countdown

I want to build a special home and furnish it with men.
The white and weak and scared and meek, and watch them now and then.
And then I'll teach the kids to fight in perfect harmony.
By holding all the elders down, and kick them urgently.

I'd like Americans to be, standing in the streets
And screaming out from bloody lungs at all the perjury
The Young Americans will be standing in the streets
This is the song! This is the song! This is the song, song, song!

In a time that tries our souls
History is not so old.
These are times that try men's souls.

I'd like to build a special wall and hammer it with males.
The rusty, rigid, born and bent in which they are impaled.
And then I'll teach the kids to stand and watch them wail and fall.
And let them dry into a dust and vape them one and all.
