America

This is the wild west, yeah
All this sex, pain, tears, joy - the universal language, this is music - are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?
I'm sharper than a Leica lens, I have real grace, no money to spend
Spend, spend, spend, spend, spend spend, spend
I've been around the world I know there's music, the united gnosis - oh gnosis, hypnosis
Oh in Tokyo, oh in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound
Oh in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) - the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) - the same pain, same joy, same sound
For all the men who ever died trying to keep my soul alive
For all the sisters, all the saints who freed me from my chains
Music, music - now use it
Oh in Tokyo, oh, in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound
Oh in London town -the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
America, America, I'm looking for you everywhere, (where are you?) the same pain, same joy, same sound
