Sweet America Lyrics

Cant you see my surprise is evident

There lies the body of the President

We all stare at the TV with shock

Hypnotized by the ticking of the clock

Outside my world the fires still rage

Stretched beyond the barricade

We are taught to love the hate

That grows inside of us day by day

Where have you gone sweet America

Your flag is tattered and your thread untwined

It's come the time to live or die

We know why sweet America

Freedoms ring can no longer be heard

Distant chimes have silenced the world

We are blind to the light of dawn

Blinded by the dropping of the bomb

Where have you gone sweet America

Your flag is tattered and your thread untwined

It's come the time to live or die

We know why sweet America

Oh say did you see

What they've done to you and me

We are trapped inside ourselves

We hold the key and no one else

Where have you gone sweet America

Your flag is tattered and your thread untwined

It's come the time to live or die

We know why sweet America
