My America Songtext
My America was fun
Met her in front of the mirror
She was trying to look pretty
So her daddy would say something
Something different than just laughing
Something better than not looking
Something sweeter their screams
When they were making love or fighting
And there inside my eyes
I saw beyond my face
Met her in front of the mirror
She was trying to look pretty
So her daddy would say something
Something different than just laughing
Something better than not looking
Something sweeter their screams
When they were making love or fighting
And there inside my eyes
I saw beyond my face
I live another life
I see a different fate
And there between the lines
Thought I could run away
I wrapped up on my nights
And learned from my mistakes
Still, somehow I felt safe
Safe
Safe
It was my time for revolution
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
'cause there's no place like revolution
A human kind of revol-, revol-
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
'cause there's no place like revolution
Revol-, revol-
My America was big
So I could get lost in it
Then America got darker
So no one could even find me
My America was friendly
But it had no arms to save me
My America got lonely
When I left my dreams behind me
And there between the lines
Started to dream away
I wrapped up on my nights
And learned from my mistakes
Still, somehow I felt safe
Safe
Safe
It was my time for revol-, revol-
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
'cause there's no place like revolution
A human kind of revol-, revol-
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
'cause there's no place like revolution
A human kind of revol-, revol-
My own kind, my own kind my
My own kind, my own kind my
My own kind, my own kind my
My own kind, my own kind my
My America was gold
Way before it was called golden
Boys and girls were wearing stones
And my favorite one was turquoise
I had perfect yellow light
Shouting through my window panes
Didn't need no DOP
My film had to be my whole life
My film had to be my life
Life
Life
It was my time for revol-, for revol-
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
'cause there's no place like revolution
A human kind of revol-, revol-
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
'cause there's no place like revolution
A human kind of revol-, revol-
My own kind, my own kind my
My own kind, my own kind my
My own kind, my own kind my
My own kind, my own kind my
I see a different fate
And there between the lines
Thought I could run away
I wrapped up on my nights
And learned from my mistakes
Still, somehow I felt safe
Safe
Safe
It was my time for revolution
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
