All the founding fathers sowed their seeds into servant girls All the godless heathens had to leave to make a newer world So we could live together in America Justice is blind and so is love Uh-oh Uh-oh Uh-oh Uh-oh All the stolen melodies they played in the hit parade All the borrowed spirituals they feigned in the salad days So we could sing together in America The price of an anthem paid in blood Bodies stacked like hundred dollar bills (Carved names into a wall) To build that shining city on the hill (Forgot them all) There's no guilt, regret or shame It just had to be this way Uh-oh Uh-oh Uh-oh Uh-oh Songtexte If you scheme and hustle just don't get caught, you've got to risk it all Or hang on every number they read off for the Powerball We'll all get rich together in America Money is indifferent and so is love Trash bags full of hundred dollar bills (Put statues on the mall) We left that bombed-out city on the hill (Forgave them all) Have to relocate the past Because we are never going back Uh-oh Uh-oh Aus Songtexte Mania
