Wanna know what Uncle Joe thinks?
We oughta take them tanks and guns and bombs
And load them planes and get them boys and girls on home
That gets my dad mad, boiling red
Revved up vein poppin' outta his head
Sayin' you pull out now, you shame the ones
Who fought and bled and came home dead
For your right to gripe, left to right
Then momma shouts, boys hush your mouth
Grab a plate and bow your heads
And be thankful when the grace is said 'cause
That's the thing about America
You can dream or do or say what you wanna
You can run it down if you can back it up
You can burn the flag or be the man
Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned
If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread
On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red
That's the thing about America
Now the coffee and the TV's on
And we're eating the pie handed down
From my grandma's side from her grandma
When she arrived back in '25
She tells us all again
How her mom came off of that big boat
With all them folks all skin and bones
And an angry mob sayin' go back home
Now the anchorman says they're making plans
Fencing up the Rio Grande
Aunt Kitty drops her fork and shouts Amen
And granny says hell just let 'em all in
That's the thing about America
You can dream or do or say what you wanna
You can run it down if you can back it up
You can burn the flag or be the man
Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned
If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread
On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red
That's the thing about America
That's the thing about America
You can dream or do or say what you wanna
You can run it down if you can back it up
You can burn the flag or be the man
Who takes a stand, says I'll be damned
If some bleedin' heart thinks he can tread
On the thread of the white, and the blue, and the red
That's the thing about America
That's the thing about America
