america it seems to me // Am Em
has lost its republican democracy
a land once glorious and free
is now owned by the chinese // F Am

central banks have given us nothing but debt // Am Em
which we chose to foolishly accept
oh the lessons of the past how we forget
and now our debt is owned by the chinese // F Am
and thus we've become a chinese // F Am
chinese democracy // F Am

so axl rose let the world know // F G Am
about our chinese democracy // F G C
it's become a land of lies, of hypocrisy
which has been sold to the chinese

so axl let's take this land back, back to 1986 // Am Em
when appetite for destruction was the anthem for kids
or even take it back, back to 92 when we were all listening to UYI 2
those albums you see were made with liberty, made when our country was a bit more free
but now it seems to me the land of the free has been sold to the chinese

so c'mon axl, let's see the kid from indiana put on his red white and blue his bandana // F G
and tour the fifty states from up north in alaska to way down south, like alabama and louisiana
to tell america how our liberty has come to be
a debt-ridden tyranny owned by the chinese

CHORUS
