America - Lou Reed

Oh, say, can you see

By the dawn’s early light

What so proudly we hailed

At the twilight’s last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

Through the perilous fight

O’er the ramparts we watched were so

Gallantly streaming?

America, America, America

America, America, America

And the rocket’s red glare

The bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there

Oh, say, does that star

Spangled banner yet wave

Over the land of the free

And the home of the brave!

America, America, America

America, America, America

America, America, America

America, America, America

America, America, America

America, America

Ooohhh
