Lyrics

Men have fought
Men have died
Men have struggled
And they have cried.
Their eyes and hearts were aimed in one direction
Together they united to serve in the protection of a
Masterpiece that's painted with the colors red and white
Perfection that will soothe the savage soul day or night
The embodiment of all the sacrifice it's taken
For the people of the great experiment--The United States of Bacon
In the dark
In the cold
For the young
For the old
There is a symbol of the bounty that the lands can give
In the mouth and in the hand it is the way we live
From the moment of the dawn until the dying of the day,
The truth that every hopeful eye will see the better way
Each child is born and bred to know they've got a stake in
Tasting the freedom of The United States of Bacon.

The world is filled with things they say are good for you,
And those they say will end it all.
So let this anthem to my salty sweet beliefs,
Show my red blooded, veracious appetite is standing tall

From the East
To the West
It's who we are
It is our test
It feeds the hungry faces
Unites the races
It is something to which we all belong----belong:
The United States of Bacon, The United States of Bacon
The United States of Bacon, The United States of Bacon
