paroles de chanson America - Ben Shaw

Ferris wheels and dandelions
I didn't say you never crossed my mind
Curtain falls before the final scene
America, are you a dream?

Turn off the television
(It) fills your mind with indecision
About what is wrong and what is right
Liar, Liar! Pants on fire!
Guns will shoot the ratings higher
Toilet paper cannot wipe your mind

Color blind only see faces
A fragile mind only sees races

The 60s are here again
Peace and love did not win
Hippies are on Wall Street selling time
So their kids can have a better life

Have you been to America?
Have you ever seen her skies?
(Or) heard the Star-Spangled Banner
Through the tears of a grown man's eyes
Falling on waves of amber grain
Wilting in the rain
Waiting for the sun to receive a pardon?

Color blind only see faces
A fragile mind only sees races

Jesus did not die for this
Muhammad did not kill for bliss
Are the educated really wise?
One man's truth is another's pack of lies

Have you been to America?
Have you ever seen her skies?
(Or) heard the Star-Spangled Banner
Through the tears of a grown man's eyes
Falling on waves of amber grain
Wilting in the rain
Waiting for the sun to receive a pardon?

Ferris wheels and dandelions
I didn't say you never crossed my mind
Curtain falls before the final scene
America, are you a dream?
