[Verse 1]
I walk past tents on city blocks
While dollars fly to foreign stocks
Mama works two jobs, still broke
But we send aid while our own choke

[Pre-Chorus]
They say we're the land of the brave
But we forget the ones we never save
How we bleed for strangers, that’s the news
But who's gonna fight for our own abused?

[Chorus]
Ain’t feelin’ so red, white, and blue
When the streets got no rescue crew
We light fires overseas
But let our own burn, beggin’ on their knees
This flag don’t wave like it used to do
When you help the world, but not your crew
I love my land, but damn it’s tough
When being American ain’t enough

[Verse 2]
See vets sleepin’ on concrete beds
While leaders talk and nothing gets said
We got kids with no lunch at school
But send billions out like we’re swimming in jewels

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where’s the line we crossed
When being kind means our people lost
They call it freedom, call it pride
But too many just barely survive

[Chorus]
Ain’t feelin’ so red, white, and blue
When the truth gets buried in the view
We build hope in other lands
But ours is sinkin’ in the sand
This ain’t hate — it’s tough love loud
For the voices lost in this crowd
I love my land, but damn it’s rough
When being American ain’t enough

[Bridge]
Raise the flag, but raise some hell
For the folks we left in a silent cell
Can’t buy peace with borrowed debt
And forget the ones we ain't helped yet

[Final Chorus – Stronger Vocal, Harmonies Build]
Ain’t feelin’ so red, white, and true
When we turn our backs on the red, white, and bruised
I stand, but I won’t stand blind
To the pain we leave behind
I still believe in what we could be
But not if we can’t set our people free
I love this place, but enough’s enough
Being American should be enough
