Ben Lee - Wake Up to America lyrics
rate meAmerica is a big country
America is a big idea
I once got a fortune cookie that said
America is a place where people
can invent themselves
So when I found myself making
out with two girls at once at
the Linkin Memorial in
Washington, DC
I knew what that fortune cookie said had been
Beautiful, strange and true
Wake up to America, up to America
Feel your broken heart
Beaten' like a drum
Wake up to America, up to America
Even in the dark
Shine for everyone
America, I've been reading your history
And alot of it sounds like Empire building
America the world needs a
foreign policy of compassion
I still believe that somewhere
underneath all this mess
America's a good country
Coz' I guess I believe that
people in their hearts are
esentially good
They just get greedy and they get scared
America it must get so lonley
being you sometimes
Up all night, no one to share
the long drives with
don't worry we won't let you
fall asleep at the wheel
Wake up to America, up to America
Up to America
Up to America
Up to America
Up to America America
Wake up to America, up to America
