My Country |
| My country 'tis of thee |
| Sweet land of liberty |
| How come I cannot see |
| My future within your arms? |
| Your love it drags me down |
| Into the underground |
| My country bleeding me |
| I will not stay in your arms |
| No not yet |
| At the Salvation Army |
| Making us all stand in a line |
| While Mommy and Daddy make up |
| And try to make up their mind |
| Oh the shame I felt |
| When those histories mentioned my name! |
| If only I could forget |
| But memory’s my favorite game |
| We cannot all have it |
| Well what I am I supposed to say to those other guys |
| So sorry but you only stood half a chance |
| Now it’s over and they’re walkin all over you |
| We cannot all have it |
| Well why is there juice dripping under your chin |
| When they have nothing why do you have something |
| When they have nothing |
| The worst thing about living a lie |
| Is just wondering when they’ll find out |
| I’ve got me, you’ve got you |
| That’s one plus one plus two |
| I never told you what to do |
| But then you put me in some box |
| I’ve got you, you’ve got me |
| Like a baby’s got a bumblebee |
| I told myself I’d have to jump higher |
| If I was gonna get over your shit |
| We cannot all have it |
| Well what do you want me to say to the others |
| Oh yes there’s a place for you |
| But that place is underneath the cushion of my behind |
| We cannot all have it |
| Well why did you say so! |
| With my eyes open how can I feel happy? |
| With my eyes open |
| If nothing of this is ours |
| How will I ever know when something’s mine? |
