[Verse] In the land of forgotten dreams Where shadows scream the night Stars and stripes fade to gray Broken voices in the fight [Verse 2] Flags torn and frayed Promises left in the dust Iron chains hold us down Liberty's a broken trust [Chorus] Oh say can you see The wreckage of the free From sea to polluted sea We're lost in misery [Verse 3] Rocket's red glare in vain Bombs burst but who cares Fallen heroes cry out Political lies and snares [Verse 4] Proud to be nothing In a land of bitter tears History repeats its curse Bleeding out our fears [Chorus] Oh say can you see The wreckage of the free From sea to polluted sea We're lost in misery
