United Police States of America

Well I was given a gift by an Eskimo man
A gift of friendship from his own hand
something that came right from the heart
To remember his land when we were apart.

Well the next thing you know here comes the man
Fish and Wildlife agent to "lend a hand"
Said you can't have the gift cause your skin is white
Well so much for friendship and civil rights

I'm in the United Police States of America
Used to be known as the Land of the Free
I'm in the United Police States of America
Watch out people what's happening to you and me

I was in the airport security line
T.S.A. frisking granny like she's done a crime
No "please" no "thank you" they treat her like a dog
And no one doing nothing, quite as a log

So I said she needs chair to take off her shoes
It's the right thing to do I thought nothing to lose
Next thing you know I'm in a special line
Getting searched and questioned time and time

I'm in the United Police States of America
Used to be known as the Land of the Free
I'm in the United Police States of America
Watch out people what's happening to you and me

Now I am a soldier with pride and nerve
Since I was seventeen I have served
And I'll do my duty to the very end
But it's getting hard to remember what I defend

When it's the United Police States of america
Used to be known as the Land of the Free
When it's the United Police States of America 
I wonder people what's happened to you and me
Tell me people what's happening to you and me
We gotta get back to being the Land of the Free
