lyrics

Land of amber waves,
a past paved with both blood and peace
both greed and grace
Headboards and headstones
of cradles and graves, oh the price we’ve paid
I’m implicated but in denial
that my passion for progress has become my idol
I’m of inconsequence, a resident,
but if this is my home, who’s responsible for it


You’re both and,
Beauty, decay
A luminous lighthouse
A den of dismay
You’re both and,
righteous and wrong
A corrupted courthouse
Singing justice songs


Sweet, sweet america
My home sweet home
Like Samson’s haircut,
I let you go
I never turned my heart to my neighbor
Never set it free
Sweet, sweet, america
I’m sorry


Lady Liberty, calling come with me
Ya’ll beggars and bums, c’mon and be someone
But the queen’s copper dress has gone green
Now equating riches with identity
You’re life’s not found in your payroll,
entitled opulence is gonna burn a hole
Through your pocket, your wallet, your leather billfold,
Careful what you carry, it could break your soul


You’re both and,
Beauty, decay
Illuminous lighthouse
A den of dismay
You’re both and,
righteous and wrong
A corrupted courthouse
Singing justice songs


Sweet, sweet america
My home sweet home
Like Samson’s haircut,
I let you go
I never turned my heart to my neighbor
Never set it free
Sweet, sweet, america
I’m sorry

A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your country begins in your own backyard
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your country begins in your own red and blue heart
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your country belongs to your next door neighbor
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your depends on your own love labors


Sweet, sweet, America
My father's home
Like Samson's haircut,
I let you go
I got comfortable and complacent
In my apathy
Sweet, sweet, America,
I'm sorry
