They can't erase you
Or break you down
They can't erase you
Or break you
Oh, when you needed more
All you got was less
Pass the church down at St. Mark's Place
Where you tried to confess
America back to civil war
Did you want your coffee black or white
Said the dog chasing his tail
As the country disappears in the night
So long to the American century
So long to the American dream
So long to the American century
Where's the revolution in the streets?
Oh, when you needed love
All you got was pain
America just crumbling down
In the nuclear rain
Social media diplomacy
Leaving Puerto Rico out in the dark
(Will we come around?)
Tax the middle and give to the rich
As the devil eats the rest of your heart
Singing
So long to the American century
So long to the American dream
So long to the American century
Where's the revolution in the streets?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
They can't erase you
Or break you down (or break you or break you or break you)
They can't erase you
Or break you down (or break you or break you or break you)
They can't erase you
Or break you
Oh, when you needed dreams
All you got was fear
Opiates instead of weed for the teens
Ain't no captives here
It used to be about what you could do
But now it's all about what you can get
(Will we come around?)
Across a wilderness that's breaking us down
Let's not become a land we live to regret
So long to the American century
So long to the American dream
(Will we come around?)
So long to the American century
Where's the revolution in the streets?
So long to the American century
So long to the American dream
So long to the American century
Where's the revolution in the streets?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Where's the revolution?
So long to the American century
So long to the American dream
So long to the American century
Where's the revolution in the streets?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Oh, no where's the revolution?
Where's the revolution?
