This was the USA

Where we was free

This is the USA

They come from everywhere to stay

You are Free to be a moron

Free to be real smart

Free to die trying while making your art

Free to look for answers

Free to ask around

Free to meet somebody

Free to settle down

Free to go in business and work real hard

Free to make decisions ‘bout your own backyard

Free to go on out- when its after dark

Free to be a clown hanging out in a park

Free to make something of yourself

Make your mark

This is the USA 

They come from everywhere to stay

This was the USA

WHERE WE WAS FREE
