Lyrics

Natalie Maines:

We said some things that came out wrong.

But now we got a brand new song.

'cause free speech needs curtailin' now and then...

We pledge allegiance to Fox News,

Please take away our right to choose.

Lurleen Lumpkin:

Oh, that sounds just like my song. But how could they have heard-- [gasps] Daddy!

Natalie Maines:

America's back and we're feeling patri-otter again!

Dixie Chicks:

America's back!

Natalie Maines:

And we're feeling patri-otter!

Freedom's a germ,

Dixie Chicks:

And we're glad that we caught 'er!

Natalie Maines:

Liberty has,

Dixie Chicks:

Never looked hotter!

Natalie Maines:

I used to love,

Dixie Chicks:

"Welcome Back, Kotter".

America's back and we're feeling patri-otter again!
