Lyrics
Come to America
And work your whole life
we’re all just rats inside a twisted maze
where profit is time
Fill me with chemicals
And sell me a cure
we're all just little plastic piggies
that don’t know what were worth
Around this world we go
climbing up that rope
They let you die slow
you pay them what you owe
pray to Americana
life in America
Pray to Americana
Life in America
pray to Americana
life in America
pray to Americana
Life in America
come see the carnival (gather around and watch the rich eat the poor)
we’ll laugh at the poor
they all dance in desperation
watch them crawl on the floor
you stole the fruits of my own labor
I’ve got nothing left to give
Could you please give me some shelter
I’ve got nowhere to live
Around this world we go
climbing up that rope
They let you die slow
You pay them what you owe (But please pay Before you go)

Roe’s consistent anti-capitalist messaging is always a treat :D

[@manuelsilva9979]

I'm a hard ass libertarian pro capitalism and free markets, but i love his music

[@elmist_]

@@manuelsilva9979 cool, I wasn’t bashing you, I was simply highlighting a consistent messaging in his songs. Maybe read into the lyrics a little more?

[@manuelsilva9979]

@@elmist_ I didn't think you were bashing me, i just thought it would be funny to comment that

Are All anti-capitalists this sensitive? I hope not bc I hope roe is way cooler than this

Waited awhile for this and not disappointed please man speak for this generation and dont get bought out

[@thatvinnyshow6865]

Fr this is the fucking anthem we need right about now

[@Jose_Da_Hype]

The soundtrack to the revolution is lit

[@BWFun-he7dm]

This comment is for people to drop more Revolution bangers

[@totalynotcatherine]

But remember, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

[@hazie7624]

@@BWFun-he7dmCarsie Blanton has some great songs too that are kinda folk and bluegrass. If you want hardcore anarcho punk Crass is it. If you want real revolutionary hip hop, Rebel Diaz, Immortal Technique too

[@gurgleblurgle7345]

That's because there's no corporate overlords dictating what you can make based on what they think will sell

[@ShBa-hp3tf]

Childish Gambino this is America. He's dead now I think. But I blare it !

[@autumncaudell1352]

Such an addictive song, and I love the hints of My Chemical Romance and SOAD

[@jessebushnell7253]

So glad someone else noticed that. The SOAD vibe is strong in the, “pray for americana” chorus

[@jacobcrowder2600]

The verses sound like Mama by MCR and the chorus sounds like Toxicity by SOAD

[@theterribleone9460]

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT😱

[@Zombittenkitten]

Oh, wow... every time I come back to this song it's more relevant and accurate... what a time to be alive, right guys???

[@codybachschmid6665]

You are truly brilliant. Employment cost literally changed my life. Keep doing what you do, man. We need music like yours

[@felwalkr_94]

I discovered you while scrolling aimlessly through RUclips a few days ago.
I'm still scrolling aimlessly, but I'm doing it with pretty good songs in the background, now. :P

My chemical romance

[@thegoldenticket6130]

It's funny because the people can change it but don't know they can, there was a reason why we have our rights too and people want to come over here, we just have to stop fighting eachother and see who's causing the divide
