| My darling, my dear, I’ll tell you what is wrong
|
| I went to the mountain, but the mountaintop was gone
|
| Remember those trees where as kids we dreamed?
|
| They tore 'em down years ago, and built a factory
|
| And when that plant closed, the workers all left town
|
| I read in the paper that some kids were killed when it burnt down
|
| Now I stare at that field like a circle in the earth
|
| And nothing will grow now, that’s not soil, it’s just dirt
|
| And I can’t stand it, what’s the use in making something new
|
| If all that made us must be ruined?
|
| I can’t demand it, I got nothing but mounting debt and fear
|
| I scratch my head wondering how we got here
|
| America, Americans
|
| What are we doing?
|
| America, I am American
|
| Please, can we start again?
|
| America (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh), American (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh)

|

|
