You say "Americans" are rude and crass,

that Americans are crude and have no class,

Well, let me say this about that.



I am "American" born and raised

And Southern by God's good grace,

And I take exception with lumping us all in that same bin,

I guess that would make you a bigot my friend.



If saying what we mean, and meaning what we say,

Is crass, I will take that over abstraction and innuendo

Any day.

Pardon us for being blunt,

But we won't call a vagina a "Penile Receptacle",

But we will call it a "cunt".



For that you think Americans are a bit daft,

Leased we aren't so tight-assed, like some cultures,

That we are afraid to laugh.



Some people come to this country for the brass ring,

and of our milk and honey don't mind partaking.

They take the pledge to be an "American"

But take pot shots at us every chance they can.



So if you don't like what Americans are about,

I suggest you put your heart in, or get your ass out.

And while we are at it, let me say,

The only true Americans are the Native Americans, anyway.



My ancestors came from Holland and I am 1/16 Creek

So most "American" are nothing more than refugees.

Before you go pointing fingers about the class we got,

Just remember the U.S. of A. is just a big melting pot.



Our people came from over the sea,

To make this, the land of the free,

So come down off your high-horse

when your ride is at an end,

And walk with the common folk...

the "Americans".
