(Steve Earle)
I used to listen to the radio
And I don't guess they're listenin' to me no more
They talk too much but that's okay
I don't understand a single word they say
p*** and moan about the immigrants
But don't say nothin' about the president
A democracy don't work that way
I can say anything I wanna say
So f*** the FCC
f*** the FBI
f*** the CIA
Livin' in the m***********' USA
People tell me that I'm paranoid
And I admit I'm gettin' pretty nervous, boy
It just gets tougher everyday
To sit around and watch it while it slips away
Been called a traitor and a patriot
Call me anything you want to but
Just don't forget your history
Dirty Lenny died so we could all be free
