I wasn't even seventeen when I believed the grass was greener | |
where life is one big movie scene | |
of beauty queens and paper boy achievers | |
Wednesday nights at Mary’s house I tried to open up to Jesus | |
cause I had seen them raise their brows | |
to the only non-believer in | |
America, America | |
in an air-conditioned class I auditioned for Mrs. Townsend's choir | |
David wore a cowboy hat | |
he lip-synched like she ordered him | |
we prayed for soldiers in Iraq to give them strength to fire | |
we pledged allegiance to the flag | |
we praised our freedom caught between the borders of | |
America, America | |
Mary’s father brought us home | |
he drove us through the heart of Texas | |
once in Dallas I was shown | |
the spot where JFK got shot |
I wasn' t even seventeen when I believed the grass was greener | |
where life is one big movie scene | |
of beauty queens and paper boy achievers | |
Wednesday nights at Mary' s house I tried to open up to Jesus | |
cause I had seen them raise their brows | |
to the only nonbeliever in | |
America, America | |
in an airconditioned class I auditioned for Mrs. Townsend' s choir | |
David wore a cowboy hat | |
he lipsynched like she ordered him | |
we prayed for soldiers in Iraq to give them strength to fire | |
we pledged allegiance to the flag | |
we praised our freedom caught between the borders of | |
America, America | |
Mary' s father brought us home | |
he drove us through the heart of Texas | |
once in Dallas I was shown | |
