lyrics

America is for Everyone
It's meant for you and me
Whether you're gay, straight, or asexual
Or trans or bi you see

And even if you're biracial
Or black or white or brown
America is here for you
No matter what your pronoun

And even if you're disabled
Or able bodied too
No matter what your religion
America is here for you

It's for each and every person
To celebrate and sing
Regardless of what you have to bring


You can be a senator
And you can be a priest
And you can be a veteran
Who fought in the mideast

You can be an accountant
And you can be a fool
And you can be indigenous
And lost your lands in a bloody duel

Each and every non-binary
And each and every son
And each and every daughter
America is for everyone

It's for each and every person
To celebrate and sing
Regardless of what you have to bring


But there's no reason to be racist
There's no need to be stuck up now
All you really need to do
Is not be so quite holier-than-thou

America can't be exclusive
It can't be some closed door
It must always be inclusive
Or else, what the hell is it for?

Each and every black man
And each and every jew
Also black and brown women
America is for you too

It's for each and every person
To celebrate and sing
Regardless of what you have to bring


America is for everyone
It's meant for you and me
It's even meant for coastal liberals
Who drink their shady tea

And conservatives in the country
Who make whiskey out of dew
And even if you're not aforementioned
It's also meant for you

America is for everyone
It's meant for you and me
And everybody on this Earth
From sea to rising sea

It's for each and every person
To celebrate and sing
Regardless of what you have to bring
Regardless of what you have to bring

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
America is for you and you and you and you...
And maybe me too

[hoo]
[yee-haw]
