Lyrics
America America
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wasn't even seventeen when I believed the grass was greener
where life is one big movie scene
of beauty queens and paper boy achievers
Wednesday nights at Mary's house I tried to open up to Jesus
cause I had seen them raise their brows
to the only non-believer in
America, America
in an air-conditioned class I auditioned for Mrs. Townsend's choir
David wore a cowboy hat
he lip-synched like she ordered him
we prayed for soldiers in Iraq to give them strength to fire
we pledged allegiance to the flag
we praised our freedom caught between the borders of
America, America
Mary's father brought us home
he drove us through the heart of Texas
once in Dallas I was shown
the spot where JFK got shot
