Lyrics
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.
You've been hanging your conscious on the fence
'Cause you can't hold it
An empty promise laid to rest
A life is stolen
And there will be no consequence
For what you've broken
Don't you know, what your father said?
We are the only
We are the brave
We are America, but
We are the blame
Stand up! Stand up!
Can you hear me now?
All I! All I
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, oh we can make it
Fists up! Fists up!
Don't put your hands down!
All I! All I
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, or we can make it
We've been biting our tongues for too long
And they know it
They told us that hope would carry on
They really had us going
And there will be no consequence
For your simple hypnosis
Don't you know, what your father said?
We are the only
We are the brave
We are America, but
We are the blame
Stand up! Stand up!
Can you hear me now?
All I! All I
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, oh we can make it
Fists up! Fists up!
Don't put your hands down!
All I! All I
Really want now is
Your voice! Your voice
Screaming out loud, saying
We can make it, oh we can make it
