Is it better to ignore it, that these bomb shelters are built of sand Scoring themes from our views making movies of tragic news Does this helpless picnic have its own neverland? Chorus 1: America never hurts They say America never cries Like no one's lost in America No one's lost in America Listening to pink noise, yeah, we make mirrors out of shop windows No one dares to pull the red card, consience is seared by truths we discard And now we've Aurelius, but soon comes Decius And perhaps Constantine is a devil keen on making things easy Chorus 2: They say America never hurts They say America never cries Like no one's lonely in America No one's lonely in America Bridge: Come alive, come alive, Come alive, come alive The prophet's cello's silenced, if love burns us down to violence If the whims of the nation cater elation will we not need a soul to blame?
