hey guys

i'm from germany and for my english class i need an american song about the USA
it can be negative (e.g. about war) or positive (e.g. about... i've no idea xD)
but it must have to do with the USA (:

in class we talked about songs by bruce springsteen
but i want a newer song and i hope you can help me (:

or positive (e.g. about... i've no idea xD)

This

Only one I can think of is American Idiot by Green Day

"we're all living in america" by rammstein. search for the video. it's a lagend.
the lyric is hard to listen to since the singer didn't said it clearly. search for the lyric first before listening to the song

If you want something a little bit critical, 'Sixteen Military Wives' by The Decemberists is pretty harsh. It mostly aims at the media, but there's some pretty harsh criticism of Bush-era politics.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

Try Hulk Hogan's theme song. I think it's something like american mentality, it's on tube (hulk hogan real american)

You know... what are the parameters? Also, is it about patriotic songs... or songs about America itself... or can it be about parts of America... or can it be American protest songs?

A little more information is necessary.

That's not the only Green Day song that discusses about America.
I mean, Holiday talks about war and stuff. You should have a deeper look at Green Day. They have a lot of war/America related songs in their current works.
Unless everyones taken their songs already :/

Do they have to mention USA? I mean, you can just relate it to the USA, especially if the band is from America. I mean, something like Sillyworld - Stone Sour can be interpreted in that sense.
Lost in Hollywood - System of a Down?

wow thank you all for your many suggestions
you really helped me (:

Alice Cooper - I Love America
From his underrated, but my favourite, 1983 album DaDa.

The question is how you take that song, it does feel a little tongue in cheek but...
