Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

Today all the things are gone I’d worked for all my life And its hard to start again With no children and my wife I’d rue my cursed stars To be living here today ‘Cause the flag now stands for serfdom And freedoms been taken away

And I’m ashamed to be an American Where folks pretend their free And I won’t forget, the men who lied Who took that life from me And I’d gladly stand up Next to you and regain her still today ‘Cause ain’t no doubt I used to love this land God help the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston And New York to L.A Well there’s disgust in every American heart And it’s time we stand and say

  I mean made the parody but not what its based on. Its because every time I hear that song I would think. “Im ashamed to be an american” and mostly from the actions of americans who love the song and aren’t ashamed of the countries shameful acts.
