It's Amazing Grace

With global sentiment towards the US at an all-time low, 'It's Amazing Grace' is an attempt to point out that very nearly half of all Americans did not want Bush to lead their country and must suffer their leader and his follies for years and generations to come.

Written in New Zealand in March 2004, 'It's Amazing Grace' will play out to four more years of imperialism under the Bush administration.

It's Amazing Grace has now been recorded for Daniel's 2006 release OP-ED, a collection of environmentally, socially, and politically inspired songs. You can hear it CD Baby.

Track 11: It's Amazing Grace
Music & Lyrics by Daniel Gannaway/Apra © 2006

It's amazing Grace
He's doing the world no favors
Least of all that country I'd call your own
He's pre-emptively turning that flag of 50 stars
Into a skull and cross bones

He doesn't represent a single one of my friends
Kind giving intelligent beings
I love them all and I would proudly stand
With these

A.M.E.R.I.C.Americans

He's a mercenary
Using the Lord's name in vain
He's offering the spoils of war to those who've highest paid
Into his election coffers
His business round table
He don't deserve the vote if the citizens ain't able

To have secure public health care
And a good education in school
To live in a country that doesn't attack other countries at will
These are just a few things said by my friends that ain't fools

They are
A.M.E.R.I.C.Americans
A.M.E.R.I.C.

It's amazing Grace
Why'd you save a wretch like him?

It's amazing Grace he's doing the world no favors
Least of all that country I'd call your own
With a fraction of the war billions
He could solve world hunger
And sort out those problems that have cropped up at home

Would hatred breed if it was food instead of bombs?
If fair trade ruled instead of free trade pollutions?
Would the world still talk smack about good people like my friends?

A.M.E.R.I.C.Americans

Oh Such fine patriots
And concerned citizens
