America Burning Lyrics


Shinedown America Burning

[Verse 1]
Hip, hip, hip hooray they say
You've got it made
Hip, hip, hip hooray, hooray
Yeah, the world is a stage
Where you can act out loud and rattle the cage
And remove any doubt that you're enraged
Like a fool, I guess, at the end of the day
You might be woke but not awake

[Pre-Chorus]
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you're for it
Devastation
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you hate it
Desperation, the wrong information
[Chorus]
Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it's just America burning

[Verse 2]
Hip, hip, hip hooray they say
You've got it made
Your theory might be critical but who's in charge?
If victimhood is currency, then you won't starve

[Pre-Chorus]
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you're for it
Devastation
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you hate it
Desperation, the wrong information

[Chorus]
Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it's just America burning
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Pray for your sanity and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it's just America burning
