O beautiful for Remington
For Smith & Wesson, Colt
For rapid-fire assault weapon
For barrel, stock and bolt
America! America!
God gave thy guns to thee
To spill the blood that spreads its flood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for massacre
So swiftly carried out
By terrorist or teenager
By godless or devout
America! America!
God gave thy guns to thee
To spill the blood that spreads its flood
From sea to shining sea!
Let Uvalde join Sandy Hook
In thoughts and as we pray
A glorious page in Murder’s book
Writ by the NRA
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw
Protect thy soul from gun-control
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for killers proved
In liberating strife
Who more than kids their weapons loved
Their bullets more than life
America! America!
May yet blood money flow
To Congressman and Senator
From Maine to Idaho!
O beautiful for patriots
Immune to human fears
Who close their ears to parents’ sobs
Their eyes to children’s tears
America! America!
God gave thy guns to thee
To spill the blood that spreads its flood
From sea to shining sea!
