It's been so long
Since we've seen the glow
Heard the sound of what we're
Waiting for
We're leaning forward
But the wind that blows
Has brought us far from
Where we wanna be
I feel it in the balls of my feet
It's been so long
Since we've seen the glow
Heard the sound of what we're
Waiting for
A voice that's strong
But amenable
Not singing songs to those
Who enjoy the view
As we head on down to Waterloo
But don't forget the context
When all the world
Is a stage
It goes to show that progress
Is not a line
It's a maze
And this interminable waltz
Is one thing
That's unavoidable
(God bless America)
The lion's den
The drowning man
The burning bush
Two birds, one hand
Tied behind your back again
Take it on your back again
Magic tricks and heretics
Lose the punchline in the bit
You shouldn't be going easy on yourself
Well, you didn't exactly make it easy for anyone else
We were begging on our knees for some help
But don't forget the context
When all the world
Is a stage
It goes to show that progress
Is not a line
It's a maze
And your fantasies
Will go and fuck us up
As far as I can see
(God bless America)
God bless America
And her anger's toll
