I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all Square meal for every man Dr. Martin Luther King Square meal for every man and every woman Slavery! Dr. Martin Luther King I've been to the mountaintop Don't you love America, my favorite country? Don't you love America, land of democracy? The issues are global I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, do solemnly swear Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country I, Richard Nixon, I, Richard Nixon, do solemnly swear The issues are global Don't you love America, my favorite country? (Germany) Don't you love America, (Russia) land of democracy? (Africa) War Well, from the shore of California to the coast of Maine From the days of pickin' cotton and sugar cane From the mountaintops to the rolling hills Baseball, hot dogs and all the cheap thrills There's New York City and Kalamazoo White, black, red, yellow and of course the Jew Democracy is the land of the free But we're all gonna die if there's a World War III! Lebanon, Beirut, Iraq and Iran (Ireland) Arabians, Russians don't like Americans Revolutionary terrorists swarm like bees And take American hostages across the seas But how long'll Reagan go for that Before he really gets mad and then he goes for a bat? (Four) War! Yes I'm talking World War III! Destruction! The end of you and me! Good Lord Old soldiers never die, they just fade away I see little hope for us Good Lord Can we solve peace? Can we solve love? America Unity America Peace America
