America's Not a Football Team

America's not a football team Your patriotism's awful mean You talk a lot of money, oh At whatever cost and you think that's funny But America's not a football team And money's not the biggest dream And guns aren't something to parade about I heard you wail I heard you shout But America's not a football team You're shouting for a world obscene And when you think you're winning see America's not a football team There's poor folk in this country, oh But I bet sometimes you think that's funny Well America's not a TV screen Your jokes I hear are awful mean Well I got a joke do you want to hear? About a funny old world I fear They've conquered many centuries To win the world for fame and greed And they think America's like a football team!
