My 5 A.M. alarm goes off, Iâm rolling out of bed
I turn the TV on, to wake up and clear my head
I catch the news, just in time to view another stirring of the pot
Talks of in-equality, what people need, and forgetting what theyâve got
But in these times of opposition, the prejudice runs deep
Dividing us by heritage is all they ever preach
Chorus:
They tell us that they really care
But to them itâs just a game
âCause we were all Americans
before the hyphens came
When people cared âbout who you were
and less about your name
âCause we were all Americans
Before the hyphens came
Somewhere down along the line, someone had the great idea
to divide us up by heritage, and profit from that fear
But growing up a while back, before these racial trends
Whether immigrant, or white or black, we just called each other friends
And if we spoke an extra language, it was just another way
To pledge allegiance to the flag, God bless the USA
Chorus
So donât listen to those talking heads
Thereâs one thing they forgot
That this Sweet Land of Liberty
Should be one big Melting Pot
So take away the hyphens
Weâll all be the same
No more lines betweens us
Together weâll remain
Forget about your color
Forget about your name
No more lines between us
Cause we are all the same
Chorus
