Kidnap America — текст песни (C.W. Mccall)

(Paul Hampton, Sage Allen)

I got plan; yeah, a plot`s what I got
To help this country rise again
All a` the haves
Join the have-nots
And strip our fears off while we can

[Chorus; C.W. only]
We`ve gotta kidnap America
Hold it for ransom
Put a price on our own head
And we won`t give back America
`Til ev`ry one of us
Start payin` up, stop playin` dead

Hold up your head
You got it up?
Doomsday`s been comin` for a hundred years
But it`s not here yet
An` it ain`t a-gonna come
Unless we drown in our own tears

[Chorus; the other singers]
We`ve gotta kidnap America
Hold it for ransom
Put a price on our own head
And we won`t give back America
`Til ev`ry one of us
Start payin` up, stop playin` dead

Stand up, Americans!
We are the people!
And the shirt`s bein` stripped right off of our backs
We`ve let it happen
And we`ve gotta stop it
Before the spirit of sweet Liberty cracks

You guys in office!
You better listen!
We`re sick an` tired of gettin` took
This ain`t no crap game!
This is our future!
So run this country by the book

Pay up with courage!
Don`t die for terror
We got the guts; we`re the home of the brave
Well the home may be crumblin`
But not the foundation
It`s still as strong as the day it was laid

[Chorus; the other singers]
We`ve gotta kidnap America
Hold it for ransom
Put a price on our own head
And we won`t give back America
`Til ev`ry one of us
Start payin` up, stop playin` dead

I wanna thank ya
For your time
