Hymn (For America) |
| I’ve felt the heat |
| In the city of Angels |
| Dust up on high |
| And the worse for wear |
| I’ve seen the lights |
| Going down on sunset |
| Madmen running loose |
| There’s murder in the air |
| So this is America |
| Love colder than death |
| Working the streets |
| Love doesn’t come cheap |
| So I learn how to steal |
| Religion for sale |
| Buy my way into heaven |
| Sell my soul for a trick |
| It’s not worth a great deal |
| So this is America |
| I remember her smile and her virgin heart |
| I remember her tears tearing me apart |
| I remember my hands helpless and tied |
| As they led her away I remember I cried |
| I’ve put my life |
| In the hands of a scream |
| Small talked and less |
| With legends to be |
| But I carried a torch |
| For the child forbidden |
| And when the heat closed in |
| They crucified me |
| So this is America |
| Dreams don’t come easy |
| Without any sleep |
| On this damned bed of nails |
| Laid wide eyed and weary |
| I hit the freeway |
| And step on the speed |
| Head for the desert |
| When madness prevails |
| So this is America |
| God bless you America |
| God bless you America |
| God bless you America |
| God bless you |
| America |
