about

A great rant against the worst parts of the political right.

lyrics

The New America
by J. Knight

This used to be the land of the free
The only place for my family and me.
Do unto others and the golden rule,
Momma's apple pie after school.
Daddy taught us 'bout respect and how I gotta
Love my enemies as myself
So I'd have no need to run and hide
'Cuz the truth, and justice, are an my side.

Then came a racist from a southern church
Sayin' "If you ain't a white Republican you're gonna burn"
Soon the enemies of freedom were repeatin' his lies.
These Christians are the Nazis, the rest of us are good guys.

Chorus
The cross is the new swastika
Jesus is dead in America.

Now the president and his fellow foe,
Like cartoon villains in a TV show,
Destroy our country with their cross held high
Mastermindin' terror and takin' our children's lives.

They think it says, in the sermon on the mount,
That Jesus wants them to increase the body count.
If we disagree then we're goin' to Hell.
Don't let your worries kill you; let the church help.

Chorus

Bridge
Limbaugh, Malkin, Coulter, Goering, Goebbels and Riefenstahl,
They say that Jesus hates us and wants to kill us all.
Propaganda, racist hatred and lies,
Momma always said the Devil would appear in disguise.

The cross is the new swaztika,
Jesus is dead in America.
