Marina - New America lyrics

[Verse 1] Everything that made you great only made you bad Made the people hate all the good they had I know that you had big dreams, that you had big plans But abuse won't make Won't make a free land [Pre-Chorus] You got a white picket fence and your dad's got a gun And when you see the police, there's no reason to run You got a job and a car and a good dental plan You got health insurance, pocket money, damn [Chorus] America America, America You can't bury the truth It's time to pay your dues America This is a new America Stars are shining for you Sparkling red and blue [Verse 2] fu*kеd with the food chain fu*ked with the farming, too And now our food don't tastе Like it's meant to do [Pre-Chorus] They've got blood on their hands 'Cause they stole all the land And all the lives they erased made them feel like a man Who gave you jazz, hip hop, rock 'n' roll, and the blues? No matter what, history's catching up on you [Chorus] America America, America You can't bury the truth It's time to pay your dues America This is a new America Stars are shining for you Sparkling red and blue [Bridge] White teeth, dark smile You've been in pain for a while You can't hide your secrets, we can see [Chorus] America America, America You can't bury the truth It's time to pay your dues Stars are shining for you 'Cause freedom's coming soon (Oh) America This is a new America Stars are shining for you (Oh) Sparkling red and blue (Oh)
