Once the religious, the hunted and weary Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope Like good Christians, some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather richesBut still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding lightAnd once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end While we bullied, stole and bought our homeland We began the slaughter of the red manBut still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding lightThe blue and gray they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war was over They stuffed it just like a hogAnd though the past has it's share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obeyThe spirit was freedom and justice And it's keepers seem generous and kind It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy And now their vote is a meaningless jokeThey babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watchin'The cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole world's got to be just like usNow we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner We can't pay the cost'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into the noose And it just sits there watchingAmerica where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now? We can't fight alone against the monsterAmerica where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now? We can't fight alone against the monsterAmerica where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now?

Это интересно:В конце 60-х годов эта группа со своим нервным бескомпромиссным рок-н-роллом символизировала беспокойные социально-политические процессы, происходившие в обществе. Энергичный стиль "Steppenwolf" помог заложить фундамент хард-рока 70-х, а термин "heavy metal" впервые прозвучал в их песне "Born to Be Wild".
