My Country
My country, 'tis of theeSweet land of libertyHow come I cannot see my future within your armsYour love it turns me downInto the undergroundMy country bleeding me; I will not stay in your armsNot yet, yet, yetNo, not yet, yet, yetNo, not yet, yetNo, not yet, yet (daoe)Not yet, yet, yetNo, not yet, yet, yetNo, not yet, yetNo, not yet, yet, yetAt the Salvation army making us all stand in a lineWhile mommy and daddy make up and try to make up their mindsOh the shame I felt when those histories mention my nameIf only I could forget, but memory's my favorite thing (?)We cannot have itWell, what am I supposed to say to those others'So sorry, but you only took half a chanceLetras de cancionesNow it's over and they're walkin' all over you'We cannot have itWell then why is there juice dripping under your chinWhen they have nothing, why do you have somethingWhen they have nothingThe worst thing about living a lieIs just wondering when they'll find outI got me, you've got youThat's one plus one plus twoI never told you what to doAnd then you put me in some boxI've got you, you've got meLike a baby's got (?)I told myself I'd have to check islandsIf I was gonna get over your shitWe cannot have itWell then what do you want me to say to those othersOh yes, there's a place for youBut that place is underneath the cushion of my behindWe cannot have itWell then why did you say soWith my eyes open, how can I be happyWith my eyes openIf nothing of this is ours,How will I ever know when something's mineMy country, tis of theeSweet land of libertyHow come I cannot see itMy country, tis of theeSweet land of liberty, yeahMy country, tis of theeSweet land of libertyHow come I cannot see a future within your armsThe worst thing about living a lieIs just wondering when they'll find out
