Amerimacka Lyrics
Miss Liberty turn into Jezebel
All of the dreams you are selling turn into 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 in hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
that would have been enough
But now we all burn in her flame
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
The land of the free built on slavery
Our conscious lives in captivity
The Promise Land is in 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 we're not gonna let them conquer the "I"
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
All of the dreams you are selling turn into hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn
that would have been enough
She wouldn't have to in hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
that would have been enough
But now we all burn in her flame
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
Our conscious lives in captivity
The Promise Land is in the lion's den.
Your culture of greed has got to end.
Tear water just a drop from the sky.
They try to keep us in the mud, separating us from love
But we're not gonna let them conquer the "I"
Amerimacka, is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie

I certian that he is saying "oh what a beautiful lie" not life because the way he sings lie would rhyme with seight.

Corrections: 1) 2nd line is totally messed up, but i can't make it out either! 2) She wouldn't have to hide IN her shame 3) But now WE ALL BURN IN HER FLAME 4) what a beautiful LIE (not life) 5) IN the LION'S DEN Additions (the final verse): Say merimacka, areevicta (an evictor?) meri-macka-macka, Ah-merimacka, we seen dis sandy (shoddy?) choppa-choppa. Ah-merimacka, dis one is like a tahka-tahka, Say merimacka, me know dem and (under?) Sing-ah Say merimacka, me know dem and (want?) attacka, me see de whole of dem and man de whole are eat ah-shata-shata, Wooooah-oooooh-woooooah.... Say merimacka, me see their dreams are shattered, Me look up on the sky and man me see a little utter-utter, Yeah-eh-hey woooah
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.
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
It is clear from what is being sung that it's "oh what a beautiful lie" and not life
