"Murica" lyrics

"Murica"

Oh, I can't afford my meds, existing all alone
Voices in my head, it's coming through my phone
I can't afford my meds, I wanna' see 'em dead
But at least I got a shotgun

I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun
I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun
I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun
I can't afford my meds

Dream a little dream, let it feed off all my needs
You know I love the man, love the man
He's got me in his hands, he tells us it's all good
As only darkness could
Please, dear God, lie, lie to me

Yeah, I can't afford my meds, something is unglued
I see it in my head, ain't buying your fake news
Wanna' see 'em dead, I can't afford my meds
And the answer's in my shotgun

I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun
I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun
I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun
I can't afford my meds, but at least I got a shotgun

Dream a little dream, let it feed off all my needs
You know I love the man, love the man
He's got me in his hands, he tells us it's all good
As only darkness could
Please, dear God, lie, lie to me

It's not a lie if you believe it
It's not a lie if you believe it
It's not a lie if you believe it
It's not a lie if you believe it
It's not a lie if you believe it
It's not a lie if you believe it
It's not a lie if you believe it, ha
Yeah!

They got us right where they want us
At each other's throats
They got us right where they want us
At each other's throats


Richard Patrick said about this song's meaning, "I just wanted to show this surreal, crazy side of what America looks like. I literally am doing it just so the record shows that someone was willing to fuckin' say something about the right. Something about how crazy they are. A lot of my fans are from the right, and they're like, 'Man, I like 'Hey Man, Nice Shot'. Why are you fucking talking about politics?' Because it has to be done. Someone has to say it. I'm not hearing a lot of hip-hop guys sayin' it. Country music represents the right. I'm not hearing anyone from the left say anything. Let the public record show that I tried something during this time period that at least maybe 100,000 fans are going to see on YouTube. At least I know that I said something, and I tried, and that's it."
Speaking to AltPress, frontman Richard Patrick told about the music video for "Murica", "The ultimate sin of the entire thing is that it's poor people versus poor people. If Americans actually learned the real truth of what was going on with their finances, with everything that's going on in the world, rich people have a stranglehold on them. It's outlets like Fox News and Breitbart and the Mercer family."
