(Paul Hampton, Sage Allen)

|
I got plan; yeah, a plot's what I got
|
To help this country rise again
|
All a' the haves
|
Join the have-nots
|
And strip our fears off while we can
|
|
[Chorus; C.W. only]
|
We've gotta kidnap America
|
Hold it for ransom
|
Put a price on our own head
|
And we won't give back America
|
'Til ev'ry one of us
|
Start payin' up, stop playin' dead
|
|
Hold up your head
|
You got it up?
|
Doomsday's been comin' for a hundred years
|
But it's not here yet
|
An' it ain't a-gonna come
|
Unless we drown in our own tears
|
|
[Chorus; the other singers]
|
We've gotta kidnap America
|
Hold it for ransom
|
Put a price on our own head
|
And we won't give back America
|
'Til ev'ry one of us
|
Start payin' up, stop playin' dead
|
|
Stand up, Americans!
|
We are the people!
|
And the shirt's bein' stripped right off of our backs
|
We've let it happen
|
And we've gotta stop it
|
Before the spirit of sweet Liberty cracks
|
|
You guys in office!
|
You better listen!
|
We're sick an' tired of gettin' took
|
This ain't no crap game!
|
This is our future!
|
So run this country by the book
|
|
Pay up with courage!
|
Don't die for terror
|
We got the guts; we're the home of the brave
|
Well the home may be crumblin'
|
But not the foundation
|
It's still as strong as the day it was laid
|
|
[Chorus; the other singers]
|
We've gotta kidnap America
|
Hold it for ransom
|
Put a price on our own head
|
And we won't give back America
|
'Til ev'ry one of us
|
Start payin' up, stop playin' dead
|
|
I wanna thank ya
|
For your time
|
