Son Volt - Living in the USA lyrics
[Son Volt - Living in the USA lyrics]
They say freedom is a natural thing
From cradle to grave
Show the world what's at stake
A higher purpose walks these
Streets all around in a sea of noise
It's still there but tuned out
Living in the USA
Share a little truth with your
Neighbor down the block
We've all got fossil fuel lungs while
We run out the clock living in the USA
Living in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA living in the USA
This land of freedom, all can live the dream
They say with voices crying out and
Sirens wailing away
Money flows through every back-channel door
Cash crowns the king
There's no limit's anymore living in the USA
Where the rule of law is now up for sale
Where wealth and privilege buy a
Ticket out of jail living in the USA
Living in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA living in the USA
Dividers in the room writing
Platforms of fear
While rapid-fire hearts make way
For tremelo tears
Charlatans will be deleted from our minds
Power invested in people, let the idea shine
Living in the USA
Cancellation noise on a rolling revue
With the marching drums of change
Gonna power through to you living in the USA
Living in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA living in the USA
Living in the USA living in the USA
Living in the USA living in the USA
Living in the USA living in the USA
From cradle to grave
Show the world what's at stake
A higher purpose walks these
Streets all around in a sea of noise
It's still there but tuned out
Living in the USA
Share a little truth with your
Neighbor down the block
We've all got fossil fuel lungs while
We run out the clock living in the USA
Living in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA living in the USA
This land of freedom, all can live the dream
They say with voices crying out and
Sirens wailing away
Money flows through every back-channel door
Cash crowns the king
There's no limit's anymore living in the USA
Where the rule of law is now up for sale
Where wealth and privilege buy a
Ticket out of jail living in the USA
Living in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA living in the USA
Dividers in the room writing
Platforms of fear
While rapid-fire hearts make way
For tremelo tears
Charlatans will be deleted from our minds
Power invested in people, let the idea shine
Living in the USA
Cancellation noise on a rolling revue
With the marching drums of change
Gonna power through to you living in the USA
Living in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA living in the USA
Living in the USA living in the USA
Living in the USA living in the USA
Living in the USA living in the USA
