Lyrics
Wake up America
Open your eyes and see
What you're watching ain't the news
It's FOX TV
Wake up America
It's like a brain disease
Foaming at the mouth with your hate and lies
Turn off your FOX TV
They're crying, "No taxes for the rich"
"George W did a helluva job"
It's Obama drove us into this ditch
And health care's a socialist plot
No jobs, no biz, country's enflamed
It's all Obama's fault they say
Cuz he's got a Muslim middle name
And ain't American anyway
Chorus
Listening to their rants night and day
You'd think America be more wise
F-O-X is just manipulatin'
And putting sleeping dust in your eyes
CEO's are crying their pay's too low
So Fox's friends won't stand by
They'll cut benefits for the Average Joe
And eat a bigger piece of American Pie
Chorus
