    Lyrics
    [Olivia]
    My country tis of thee
    Sweet land of liberty
    Birthright that’s given to me
    Land of prosperity

    [AHd Child]
    I'm a native though the nature is evasive
    And I do not see myself being persuaded
    To connect to a system that is currently very hated
    And is fated to fall cuz its all going wrong
    And its separate from me, how can I be
    A native
    If I choose to act then comes adverse reactions
    How is this democratic when I'm fighting with the masses
    Who serve as a mask for the masquerading masters
    Of the terms of transaction, this is faulty mathematics
    How can the most advantaged class
    Be such a small faction in a political system
    Aimed at mass satisfaction
    I'm a native

    [Olivia]
    This ain’t what I wanted
    But its what I got
    While the government steps over
    Those its supposed to protect
    Who can I elect
    To truly represent me
    To step outside the context

    [AHd Child]
    Modern society is a showcase of variety
    But in this great democracy
    We've lost our priorities
    The majority has the say of a minority
    While the oligarchs imply their own superiority
    Public policy's evolved to not involve
    Constitutional resolves
    I'm a native
    I was created in a context
    And I seek separation
    Cuz my inherited placement
    Doesn't bode well for elevation
    The current situation of this
    Hypocritical nation
    Is being made worse by incomplete information
    Lack of proper training
    Abuse of representation
    How can I be a native when I have no say
    But still, I'm a native

    [Olivia]
    All eyes shut
    My bad luck
    I start from the bottom while some start from above
    I cry in my rhymes and people seem so surprised
    There’s so much reason every time I look outside

    [AHd Child]
    I am entitled by birth
    To be blindfolded and battered
    To be built up then shattered
    To learn my opinion doesn?t matter
    Cuz I can't back it with capital
    Ideals of this country conflict with the actual
    The elevation of few is highly impractical
    But political debate is battle and tactical
    Benefit to the people is very far from the maximal
    The system as a whole is not very rational
    And me, I'm a native

    [Olivia]
    My country tis of thee
    Sweet land of liberty
    Birthright that’s given to me
    Land of prosperity
