Should've known better than to be myself
In front of no one else alone
Should've known better than to stand up tall
Should've known i'd fall alone

Tried to turn pages in a withered book
Caked with dirt and soot I man

Why you wanna rip me up
When you got me begging on my knees
Beg and plead

Run Americans run
From lives filled with nothing but what needs to get done
Until you're too scared to sleep cause you've learned not to dream
And apathy splits you like a guillotine

Fly Americans fly
There's a place for you way up in the sky
In the truest land of opportunity
Where money is burned and freedom is free

Run senorita run
Politicians are coming for your daughters and sons
You helped build their homes on what once was your sand
But there's no room for you in the promise land

Fly senorita fly
There's a place for you way up in the sky
In the truest land of opportunity
Where money is burned And freedom is free

Run Americans run

Hidden underneath my bed
Are all the secret things I never said
The hands we hold
As our emotions get bought and sold

Calling out
Calling out
There's a radio drought sweeping the stations

Why do I waste my time
Swimming in a sea of slime
Why do I lose control
Either way the hype machine will roll

Hidden underneath my bed
Are all the secret things I never said
The hands we hold
As our emotions get bought and sold

Calling out
Calling out
There's a radio drought sweeping the stations

I can't be a plastic doll

Is there nothing more to be found
In the sky or the underground
Has it all been a pointless waste
Or can we find what's been misplaced

Is there nothing more we can do
Is this the world we were born into
Is there nothing I can write or sing
That's going to change anything

And though I try my very best

Separated our birthing ground
Built the churches and the towns
Now we lay on a bed of nails
With our thoughts locked up in jail

We live on the face of the earth
We don't know why
We live on the face of the earth
We are its heart its lungs its eyes

Up from the soil
Into our blood
Just like a violent deadly flood

We came from the dirt
With open minds
Then divided ourselves with illusive lines

Separated our birthing ground
Built the churches and the towns
Now we lay on a bed of nails
With our thoughts locked up in jail

We live on the face of the earth

Got to find a middle ground
Got to stop burning our hands on the stars

Find somewhere to level out
Even if we've got to fly out to Pluto or Mars

Better choose a foreign name
Cut your hair dye it from light into dark

Stop burning your hards
And put it out
Stop burning your hands
Until the stars understand

There is a strange man
Who hides his face in his hand
A smile cannot cleanse
A dirty camera lens

ya Why bother to pretend

There is a strange man
Wondering why he began
Walking down the street
Looking like he's beat

Feelings subsiding
He stays in hiding
Laying on the couch
Looking like a slouch

ya Walking down the street
ya Looking like he's beat
ya

There is a strange man
Who hides his face in his hand
A smile cannot cleanse

I don't mind going down
Into the dirt underground
As long as I can hear the song
You've been singing all along
Hey hey look at you
Speaking your mind
Singing the truth
Oh my where've I been
Lord it's good to be back again

Will I know you when we disappear
Will we exist on a parallel sphere
Will we be able to think twice
Before we enter this paradise
Where nothing is cherished
Cause nothing is feared

There are no heroes and nothing with change
We've taken the world and we made it deranged
It's the end of our lifetimes a legacy of war crimes

God is a woman dressed in black
Dead is the world she colored blue
Stuck in the middle are me and you
What'll we do what'll we do

Time is the falsehood though which we judge
Our universe is broken just give it a nudge
And we'll all fall to back where we came through
Into the darkness up above
