| There was a song you used to play
|
| Before they drove you away
|
| But I remember every stroke
|
| Of every chord you played
|
| And in the room they gave the band
|
| I thought I heard you say
|
| the perfect scam
|
| But it’s a crime that doesn’t pay, eh-eh-ey
|
| But for Mistress America, I’m gonna get a gun
|
| And learn the words to all of your songs
|
| Mistress America, smile for the camera
|
| I think we’re gonna make it this time
|
| Think we’re gonna do fine, ai, ai, ai, ai
|
| And I had never prayed before
|
| But if it keeps the devil from your door
|
| I’ll kneel down and bruise my knees
|
| On your hard linoleum floors
|
| And I thought I saw the light
|
| But it was just a satellite station
|
| Just another human creation
|
| But where you gonna run to now? |
| Ah-ah-ow
|
| Oh, well, Mistress America, I’m gonna get a gun
|
| And learn the words to all of your songs
|
| Mistress America, smile for the camera
|
| I think we’re gonna make it this time
|
| Think we’re gonna do fine, ai, ai, ai, ai
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Oh, well, Mistress America, I’m gonna get a gun
|
| And learn the words to all of your songs
|
| Mistress America, smile for the camera
|
| I think we’re gonna make it this time
|
| Think we’re gonna do fine
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now?
|
| Where do we run to now? |
