C# F# G# C#
Dad, you say you're proud of the USA
F# G# Bb
You're so proud of the USA
F# G# C#
Well it fools you in many ways
C# F# G# C#
Dad, the blood of the indian tribes
F# G# Bb
Was spilled so we could have such vibes
F# G# C#
While we wave flags above their graves
[Chorus]

Man, look at Rome and Babylon
F# G# Bb
Even Egypt sat beneath the Sun
F# G# C#
Now it looks like its days are done
C# F# G# C#
And yes, God was on their side, too
F# G# Bb
Just as you say he is to you
F# G# C#
And leagues of Americans too

When I was a boy I was taught to believe
C#/C F#
America was all that was
C#
And just because
C#
And that red, white and blue
Could justify everything you do
C#/C F#
As long as you had pride
C#
Deep down inside
F#
But there's a world out there
G#
There's a world out there
F#
There's a world out there
We've got to care
G#
We can't raise the flag up everywhere
[Chorus]
C# F# G# C#
Dad, I'm not proud of the USA

I'm not proud of the USA
F# G# C#
I'm not proud of the USA
[Verse]
C# F# G# C#
Man, you see I ain't got no time to stay
F# G# Bb
My mama heard my words and then she ran away
F# G# C#
She called the FBI and CIA
[Chorus]
C# F# G# C#
Cause Dad, I'm not proud of the USA
F# G# Bb
I'm not proud of the USA

I'm not proud of the USA
