America Loves The Minstrel Show Letra

my life is a sham,

i pretend that I'm free.

wake up, wake up, it's time for me to go

america loves the minstrel show

i don't wanna hurt you, but if I do I'll pay,

i don't wanna hurt you, but if I do I'll pay.

i live in the dark where nothing can ever grow

america loves the minstrel show

it's the thief whose the first to accuse others they steal

it's the fake who claims to always know who is real

and millions all want to bathe in his glow

america loves the minstrel show

america loves the minstrel show

they love me babe, there's a line around the block.

they love me babe, compared to that, what have you got?

wouldn't it be a crime to just let it go?

america loves the minstrel show

they'll never forget me and the funny faces I make,

they'll never forget me and the funny faces I make,

I make them forget that they'll reap what they sow.

america loves the minstrel show

america loves the minstrel show

america loves the minstrel show
