My America lyrics

My America was fun.

Met her in front of the mirror.

She was trying to look pretty

so her daddy would say something.

Something different than just laughing.

Something better than not looking.

Something sweeter than the screams

when they were making love with fighting.

And there inside my eyes,

I saw beyond my face.

I'd live another life.

I'd see a different fate.

And there between the lines

thought I could run away.

I wrapped up all my nights

and learned from my mistakes.

Still somehow I felt safe... safe, safe.

It was my time for revolution.

A good time for revolution.

A good place for revolution.

And there's no place like revolution.

A human kind of revo-, revo-.

A good time for revolution.

A good place for revolution.

And there's no place like revolution.

My America was big

so I could get lost in it.

And that America got darker

so no one could even find me.

My America was friendly

but it had no arms to save me.

My America got lonely

when I left my dreams behind me.

And there between the lines

started to dream away.

I wrapped up all my nights

and learned from my mistakes.

Still somehow I felt safe... safe, safe.

It was my time for revo-, for revo-.

A good time for revolution.

A good place for revolution.

And there's no place like revolution.

A human kind of revo-, revo-.

A good time for revolution.

A good place for revolution.

And there's no place like revolution.

A human kind of revo-, revo-.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My America was gold

way before it was called golden.

Boys and girls were wearing stones

and my favourite one was turquoise.

A perfect yellow light

shooting through my window curtains.

Didn't need that DOP.

My film had to be my whole life.

My film had to be my life... life, life.

This was my time for revo, for revo.

A good time for revolution.

A good place for revolution.

And there's no place like revolution.

A human kind of revo-, revo-.

A good time for revolution.

A good place for revolution.

And there's no place like revolution.

A human kind of revo-, revo-.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My own kind, my own kind my.

My own kind, my own kind my.
