(I want to be with you, yes you, forever.)
Recollecting when we first met
Friends of yours advised me come pursue ya
Hypnotized by your spell and smell
Sprung by your perfume
I flew over – no delays or run-ins with the steward
Yeah, our love was younger, newer then
When we were honeymooners
Now our days with sun are fewer
Nights are numbered
Lunar eclipse, glitter and glitz
Hate to admit
Dismissed a hundred rumors
As imagination's figments
Spread like tumors
Diagnosed malignant
Radiation patient hunting for the cure
You're so immature
Unreliable
Never liable
Blaming the entire globe
And call 'em evil-doers
But I'm sure
There's no reparations
For sweat and lost energy
Considered best comrades
Became my worst enemy
Hurtful abusive
Blood curdles and oozes
Under the surface of epidermis
The purplest bruises
Truth is, you're gorgeous
But hunger for power gorges
With armed forces
Contorts your slim figure to enormous
HOOK:
Oh beautiful
With your spacious skies
I wanna love you but you hide behind a fake disguise
Oh beautiful
Planned your birthday party for July Fourth
I was dis-invited
Ride your high horse
To a black tie affair with your peers
Who can apply force
Oh beautiful
Really wanna make this fit
Promised me to change ya ways
But keep on repeating the same mistakes and slip
Blow your candles, make a wish
Erase the taste
In meltin' pots
Blood on auction blocks
Now felons caught in cells
I seldom thought
We'd 86 relationships
Obsolete like laser discs
Jealous thoughts possessive so in
Self defense I'm raising fists
Still you fail to hear
The trail of tears
And broken treaties
Border walls we
Wrote graffiti
Tag it like your toe
You'll go alone and greedy
Even though you know you need me
No pretending we co-dependent
You killin' in my name I get the blame
Your co-defendant
So much arrogance
It's an embarrassment
See a therapist
For your paranoia of terrorists
While terrorizing
Analyze the flaws in your character
Do you really love me –
Or just lust for power -
America?
