Allegiance

I am the land of the free.
This is my first confession.
I will confess, but not apologize
For two hundred years of oppression.

I am America.
I am hypocrisy.
I am intolerance.
I am the land of the free.

My creation, born from the blood of the Sioux,
My censorship of what is true,
My endorsement of money and greed
My persecution continued once the slaves were freed.

I've killed so many, yet I say it's wrong to kill.
All are free, but slaves remain still.

I promote the right to privacy,
Yet I broadcast people's lives for all to see.
