Cover art for 'Merican lyrics by Descendents

I own both Cool To Be You and the `Merican EP, with this song being my favourite on both. This is the best Descendents' song. It puts America and its history in a perfect non-preachy nutshell. It's totally true and right to the point. One of the best songs I've heard by anyone. It's a classic punk anthem from an old proper pop-punk band.
