Downhere - In America Lyrics
Is it better not to look back or should we dust off our journalsStare deep through the feedback for the new dayLike the distortion has things to sayIs it better to ignore it, that these bomb shelters are built of sandScoring themes from our views, making movies of tragic newsDoes this helpless picnic have its own NeverlandChorusAmerica never hurtsThey say America never criesLike no one's lost in AmericaNo one's lost in AmericaListening to pink noise, we make mirrors out of shop windowsNo one dares to pull the red card, conscience is scared by truths we'd discardAnd now we've Arilius, but soon comes Decious,and perhaps Constantine is a devilKeen on making things easyChorusCome alive, come aliveThe prophet's cello's silenced, if love burns us down to violenceIf the whims of the nations cater elation will we not need a soul to blame?He has to take it all aloneIs His move political, a play for the people? NoHe takes one for the little guyHe takes a hit for the little guyThey say America never hurtsThey say America never cries,Like no one's lonely in AmericaLike no one's lonely in America
