Lyrics
TEARS OF AMERICA
( Cannata ) c p 2006
How does it feel to say the words, you live in America
It isn?t the way it used to be, to live in America
Why then, do we have to read it in the Rolling Stone,
in the New York Times
You see it doesn?t really matter once your blown away
It?s really insane, we play this dangerous game
Remember the days, there?re far away
and we were invisible
Nothing to worry, nothing to fear
We were untouchable
We always put the blame on someone
We never face the darkness we hide
But now we?re starting to see new reflections
Just open your eyes
Why then, do we have to read it in the Rolling Stone,
in the New York Times
You see it doesn? really matter once your blown away
It doesn?t really matter
It doesn?t really matter once your gone away
It doesn?t really matter
The tears of America, welling up inside
Like the soul of the mannequin
The heart is still alive
In time you will steal your Heaven
Come to find there?s a reason to it all
In time you will steal your Heaven
The wicked will fall........
Try to expand the story and the back beat
Breathing in Hell?s Fire
Don?t misunderstand it?s all about the attitude
To reach the Promised Land
How does it feel.......America
How does it feel, your number one
America
A loaded gun
America
