America lyrics

Is it love you’re after?

A sign of the flood or one more disaster

Don’t do to me what you did to America

Don’t do to me what you did to America

I have loved you, I have grieved

I’m ashamed to admit I no longer believe

I have loved you, I received

I have traded my life

For a picture of the scenery

Don’t do to me what you did to America

Don’t do to me what you did to America

I give it all up in laughter

The sign of the cross awaiting disaster

The dove flew to me like a vision of paranoia

The dove flew to me like a vision of paranoia

I have loved you like a dream

I have kissed your lips like a Judas in heat

I have worshiped, I believed

I have broke your bread for a splendor of machinery

Don’t look at me like I’m acting hysterical

Don’t look at me like I’m acting hysterical

I have worshipped, I have cried

I have put my hands in the wounds on your side

I have tasted of your blood

I have choked on the waters, I abated the flood

I am broken, I am beat

But I will find my way like a Judas in heat

I am fortune, I am free

I’m like a fever of light in the land of opportunity

Don’t do to me what you did to America

(Don’t do to me what you do to yourself) [x4]

Don’t do to me what you did to America [x4]
