Miss Liberty turn in a Jezebel
All the dreams you go sell, turn in a hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn

If she had only stood for love, that would have been enough
She wouldn't have to hide in her shame
If she had only stood for love, that would have been enough
But now we all burn in her flames

Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off of a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful light

The land of the free built on slavery, whoa, yeah
Our consciousness in captivity
The promised land is the lion's den
Your culture of greed has got to end

Now we're laying in the mud, looking up above
Tear water just a drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud, separating us from love
But me not gon let them conquer the I

Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful light

Say Amerimacka, gonna miss Amerimacka-macka
Amerimacka, we've seen the sound of choppa, choppa
Amerimacka, this one is like a tanka, tanka
Say Amerimacka, me know dem are sing ah
Say Amerimacka, me know dem are the attacker
Me see the world of them and man that world is shattered, shattered
Oh whoa
Say Amerimacka, me see the dreams are shattered
Me look up on the sky and man me see a little altar, altar, yeah, yeah, whoa

    The meaning is fairly obvious, I'd imagine. Just a few notes though on the lyrics (my opinions): "But now she's burnt s all with her flames" sounds more like "But now we all burn in her flames" "The promise land is the liar's den" doesn't make really any sense, but saying "The promise land is in the lion's den" would make it actually logical.

    Lyric Correction

    Mostly agree with sunnyata. Line 2: All of de dreams you will set 'em inna hell

    Line 8: But now we all burn in her flame

    I think the chorus is: Amerimacka Oh what a beautiful life Amerimacka It's like licking honey off of a knife

    Amerimacka Oh what a beautiful sight Amerimacka Oh what a beautiful lie

    Line 11 (not counting chorus): The promised land is in the lion's den

    Lines at the end: Say Amerimacka Anda Miss Amerimackamacka Amerimacka Les see dey stott de shaka chaptra Amerimacka Dis one here's like a darka talka Say Amerimacka Me lonely man dat... Singa Say Amerimacka Me no de man dat talka Me save de world not dem, But man dem would not eat the shaka shaka Woh oo woh oo...

    Say Amerimacka Me see dey dreams are shatta Me look up on da sky an man me see a need a to alta alta Yeaaaaaaaah yeaaaaahah! woh oh

    My Interpretation

    It is clear from what is being sung that it's "oh what a beautiful lie" and not life

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
