Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or the song "Me Against The World" by Simple Plan

America was walking along the sidewalk, his mind focusing on one thing: the World Conference, that was happening later that day. He had no doubt that it would end up with everyone insulting him about one thing or another. He didn't want them to focus on his eating habits or economy; he wanted to get work done in these meetings, for once.

He sighed, took out his headphones, and phone from his pocket, and he played a song at random. He thought the one that played described how he was feeling, pretty well.

We're not gonna be

Just apart of their game

We're not gonna be

Just the victims

They're taking our dreams

And they tear them apart

'til everyone's the same

I've got no place to go

I've got no where to run

They love to watch me fall

They think they know it all

And it was right. The other countries loved to tear him down one way or another. Even Canada spent three hours pointing out everything wrong with him. The others were worse and insulted him on a daily basis, whether it's his weight and eating habits or his loud personality. They think they know everything about him, but all they see is the surface and not the true nature of America.

I'm a nightmare, a disaster

That's what they always said

I'm a lost cause, not a hero

But I'll make it on my own

I've gotta prove them wrong

Me against the world

It's me against the world

He knew the way he acted was annoying. He knew that others thought he was just a spoiled child, who got too much power to fast, that he would fall as fast as he rose. But, America was determined to prove himself to the others, so he worked hard. Most nights he didn't sleep because he was up doing paperwork. He ate mostly McDonald's because it was fast and easy. He works hard at what he does.

We won't let them change

How we feel in our hearts

We're not gonna let them control us

We won't let them shove

All their thoughts in our heads

And we'll never be like them

But America would never allow someone to change who he was. He was strong, smart, and powerful. Even if he didn't show it most of the time; he is still a genius. He won a war just on brains alone. He would always be thankful of his young looks, because of that he is able to go to a different collage in his country each year to learn what his younger generations were learning. He has a whole room in his house filled with diplomas.

I've got no place to go

I've got no where to run

They love to watch me fall

They think they know it all

I'm a nightmare, a disaster

That's what they always said

I'm a lost cause, not a hero

But I'll make it on my own

I'm gonna prove them wrong

It's me against the world

Me against the world

He knows what they think, but he wouldn't change it. He worked hard to create the mask of stupidity he wears. It has made his enemies doubt his skills in the past and was sure to do the same in the future. If he looked oblivious to them, then he could plot without anyone thinking he could. He has a plan for each country's downfall if he ever needs it.

Now I'm sick of this waiting

So come on and take your shot

You can spit all your insults

But nothing you say is gonna change us

You can sit there and judge me

Say what you want to

We'll never let you in

They can insult him all they want, but they will never make him insecure. He knows all of his weaknesses and all of his strengths. He can make people bend to his will without them even knowing it was him. So while he's waiting for them to slip up and give him an excuse to conquer them, he'll let them say what they want about him.

I'm a nightmare, a disaster

That's what they always said

I'm a lost cause, not a hero

But I'll make it on my own

Me against the world

I'm a nightmare, a disaster

That's what they always said

I'm a lost cause, not a hero

But I'll make it on my own

I've got to prove them wrong

They'll never bring us down

We'll never fall in line

I'll make it on my own

Me against the world

America would never let them bring his country down. The song faded out, and he looked down at the watch on his wrist. He knew the meeting was still a few hours away, but he was still worrying about it. He knows he can probably bring his paper work with him and try to get some done during the meeting. He has seen some of the other countries doing it. He doesn't know if he should though because the others nations always paid special attention to him, to catch him in his mistakes. He could risk ruining everything he has worked for. He decided to do what he always does at the meetings, play the fool and hope nobody figures out his plans.
