Kidnap America lyrics

(paul hampton, sage allen)

I got plan; yeah, a plot`s what i got
To help this country rise again
All a` the haves
Join the have-nots
And strip our fears off while we can

[chorus; c.w. only]
We`ve gotta kidnap america
Hold it for ransom
Put a price on our own head
And we won`t give back america
`til ev`ry one of us
Start payin` up, stop playin` dead

Hold up your head
You got it up?
Doomsday`s been comin` for a hundred years
But it`s not here yet
An` it ain`t a-gonna come
Unless we drown in our own tears

[chorus; the other singers]
We`ve gotta kidnap america
Hold it for ransom
Put a price on our own head
And we won`t give back america
`til ev`ry one of us
Start payin` up, stop playin` dead

Stand up, americans!
We are the people!
And the shirt`s bein` stripped right off of our backs
We`ve let it happen
And we`ve gotta stop it
Before the spirit of sweet liberty cracks

You guys in office!
You better listen!
We`re sick an` tired of gettin` took
This ain`t no crap game!
This is our future!
So run this country by the book

Pay up with courage!
Don`t die for terror
We got the guts; we`re the home of the brave
Well the home may be crumblin`
But not the foundation
It`s still as strong as the day it was laid

[chorus; the other singers]
We`ve gotta kidnap america
Hold it for ransom
Put a price on our own head
And we won`t give back america
`til ev`ry one of us
Start payin` up, stop playin` dead

I wanna thank ya
For your time
