We tried to drink the ocean when the rivers went dry
Our desperation feeds and keeps our demons alive
We walk along with nothing left to lose
To suffer in the darkness or to live with the kings
Our choices are presented as intangible things
The chains assure our hands can't break away

We ride the cycle up and down
We bend the knee to a different crown
Made in America
In America
Made in America
American dreamers waking up afraid
That they are relics of a golden age
Made in America
In America
Made in America
American made

Look and you can see it in the print on the page
They codified the system an invisible cage
But we outnumber, and our strength is wild
Don't deny our future the luxurious rage
The structures are upended when we engage
You hold the means to make it all worthwhile

We ride the cycle up and down
We bend the knee to a different crown
Made in America
In America
Made in America
American dreamers waking up afraid
That they are relics of a golden age
Made in America
In America
Made in America
American made

Sold on lies like liberty
Just to find that freedom isn't free
You can try to keep on playing
But the players never win
Cities built on taken land
Where they own the new world built with our hands
But now you can change the state we're living in

We ride the cycle up and down
We bend the knee to a different crown
Made in America
In America
Made in America
American dreamers waking up afraid
That they are relics of a golden age
Made in America
In America
Made in America
American made
