Lyrics

Oh say can you see
What dawns early light doth bring?
It gives forth the Sun
Shines it's light on our miss Freedom
She lives a modern urban ife
Her likes are junkfood and dieting
And hewr daddys up state doin time
And mommy has her problems with sobriety
And she crys herself to sleep
But oh boy does she have a dream

She saved and she moved
Out west to where the sky is blue
And she wants to be a star
With her name on the boulevade
But she gets the casting couch
And used up by a feel-good society
And they chew her up and spit her out
Into a world of high anxiety
And she crys herself to sleep
And wonders what might have been
CHORUS
Oh say can you see?
To the road of broken dreams
Where it's another Sunny day in the home of the free
For the rivals on the road to opportunity
Survivors raised on hope who come from every street
All fightin for a slice of the American dream
Oh can't you see?
And shes alone in the jungle with no one to care for her
She's cold and she's hungry and this is America
She dreams of where its sunny, then she goes workin the kerb
Cause it's the gun or the money, and this is America
America, this is America
Where it's another Sunny day in the home of the free
For the rivals on the road to opportunity
Survivors raised on hope who come from every street
All fightin for a slice of the American dream
Oh can't you see?

Oh say have you seen?
Our Lady of Liberty
Oh what has she become
What now that she's got a gun
Is she gonna end her life
In some sombre suicidal scene?
Or is she goin out tonight
To rage against a calleous society
No I can't get to sleep
Wonder what it might be
CHORUS






BRIDGE
Pick up the pieces of a broken heart
Put it back together when it falls apart
Sweep out the cobwebs of yesterdays life
Dream about tomorrow when you sleep tonight
Go find a cause that you can call your own
Give it your all and don't you ever let go
And you follow that dream to the end of the line
And if it's gone when you get there do it one more time
