America the Lost (2000)
Joe Halter/M. Papierski
The
values that were once at the core of our land are eroding leaving us to drift
precariously toward the very destruction that claimed other great empires. We
need to right ourselves which can only happen when God and our Christian values
are once again the focus of our lives.

We’re “Ugly Americans”, blatantly rude,
(We’re) fiercely outspoken and terribly lewd.
(We) got no morals, (there’s) no right or wrong.
We’re Teflon coated, (and) never at fault.
“Truth” is whatever we want it to be,
We’re all the victims of society.
Everything goes in this country of ours,
‘Cause we all got our rights and we all got our scars.
Our founding fathers, really missed the boat,
When they formed this nation long ago.
Their professions of faith were wrongfully taken,
And imbedded within this nation’s foundation.
They really didn’t mean what they said back then,
They were merely a group of unenlightened men.
We’ve evolved a lot since those early days.
Now we don’t need God and we don’t need faith.
Chorus
Grant us wisdom, grant us power,
To right ourselves in these final hours.
America’s mast is torn and tattered.
Her moral compass, is cracked and shattered.
Save us Lord from the evil storm,
That claimed the kingdoms of long ago.
Persia, Greece, Babylon and Rome,
Now America too, she’s lost her soul.
Instrumental
The moral fiber that defined this land,
(Has) been surgically removed by liberal hands.
The Father’s Word is not “The Truth,”
Now God‘s not God but god is you.
You are sovereign. You’re in control.
It’s all about (So believe what) you (want) and all that you “know.”
Forget about sin and set your conscious free.
Go ahead and do and act as we please.
Chorus
Bridge
We’re blinded by our blessings.
Our arrogance is overwhelming.
The waters in which we drift,
Have sunk the mightiest, mightiest of ships.
Chorus
Yes, America too, she’s lost her soul…
