America lyrics

You've been hanging your conscious on the fence

Cause you can't hold it

An empty promise laid to rest

A life is stolen

And there will be no consequence

For what you've broken

Don't you know, what your father said?

We are the only, we are the brave

We are America, but we are to blame

Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now?

All I, all I really want now is

Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:

"We can make it, oh, we can make it"

Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down!

All I, all I really want now is

Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:

"We can make it, oh we can make it"

We've been biting our tongues for far too long

And they know it

They told us that hope would carry on

They really had us going

And there will be no consequence

For your sinful hypnosis

Don't you know, what your father said?

We are the only, we are the brave

We are America, but we are to blame

Stand up, stand up, can you hear me now?

All I, all I really want now is

Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:

"We can make it, oh, we can make it"

Fist up, fist up, don't put your hands down!

All I, all I really want now is

Your voice, your voice screaming out loud, saying:

"We can make it, oh we can make it"
