I left my home at seventeen
Fell off the edge of the world to wake
In America
America
Someone's burn and someone's game
I swapped you a comb for a golden plane
In America
America
Sorry always comes too late
I traded a man for a ball and chain
In America
America
Oh America
America
If I don't have a dime does a dime have me
Money makes money makes money off the back
Of America
America
Color is blind in every way
So when color is blind and in my way
In America
America
Blunted beauty blunted reign
I don't give a damn what the people say
Of America
America
It's still America
America
Oh . . . Na Na Na Na Na Na x5
Born strong and boundaries made
Stitch together is a quilt of the fifty states
Of America
America
Say what you will say what you might
The eagle still flies in the dead of night
In America
America
You can see it now from outer space
The glimmer of hope and the song so faint
Of America
America
Oh America
America
END
