Long ago a land was built
To be a shining city on a hill
No kings, no aristocracy
Just a belief in liberty
And the tale that they were told in school
Always follow this golden rule
George Washington and the cherry tree
Truth will set the people free
But the truth is hard to take
When your livelihood's at stake
Better cover your mistakes
And the buck doesn't stop here no more
The buck doesn't stop here no more
And so all the people saw
That no one was above the law
They took pride in their democracy
All were equal, eventually
But equal rights means equal say
And some folk didn't like the way
While their views were duly noted
Come election time, they were out-voted
So they used intimidation
To preserve their domination
This is a Christian nation
And the buck doesn't stop here no more
The buck doesn't stop here no more
With their God and their guns, what are they fighting for?
An all-
American Sharia law?
If the Bible is the sole source of authority
Then we've no use for democracy
If history teaches us one thing
Never trust a man who would be king
Who seeks all power for himself
To burnish his prestige and wealth
And a nation born in revolution
Should know this offers no solution
For there can be no liberty
Where one man rules with impunity
And the patriots have no shame
To them it's all a game
They've always someone else to blame
And the buck doesn't stop here no more
Buck doesn't stop here no more
The buck doesn't stop here no more
The buck doesn't stop here no more
Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist born in Barking, Essex, in 1957. His music combines elements of folk, punk, and soul with politically and socially charged lyrics, aligning with the tradition of protest songs. Bragg began his musical career in the 1980s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. His direct style and incisive songs have won him a wide audience and established him as one of Britain's most important singer-songwriters. Among his most notable albums are "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989), and "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), a collaboration with Wilco and Ralph Stanley that revisits Woody Guthrie's unpublished songs.
