In America

Better not to look back
Or should we dust off our journals
Step deep to the feedback for the new day
Like the distortion has things to say

Is it better to ignore it
That these bomb shelters are built of sand
Scoring themes from our views, making movies of tragic news
Does this helpless picnic have its own Neverland

America never hurts
They say America never cries
Like no one's lost in America
No one's lost in America

And listening to pink noise yeah
We make mirrors out of shop windows
No one dares to pull the red card
Conscience is scared by truths we'd discard

And now we've Arilius
But soon comes Decious
And perhaps Constantine is a devil keen
On making things easy

They say America never hurts
They say America never cries
Like no one's lonely in America
Like no one's lonely in America

They say America never hurts
They say America never cries
No one's lonely in America
Like no one's lonely in America

Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive

The prophet's still silenced
If love burns us down to violence
If the whims of the nations cater elation
Will we not need a soul to blame?

He has to take it all alone
Is His move political, play for the people, no
He takes one for the little guy, yeah
He takes a hit for the little guy, yeah

They say America never hurts
They say America never cries
Like no one's lonely in America
Like no one's lonely in America

They say America never hurts
They say America never cries
Like no one's lonely in America
Like no one's lonely in America
They say America never hurts
