America Lyrics

Limited being at this time of year
Decaying monies and my father's cool fears
Escape now
I hate now

A shotgun wedding at a quarter to five
I shot the husband and I slept with the bride
Escape now
I hate now

But I just wanna hold your hand
I wanna scrape my knees now
I wanna be in good blood
I wanna be an american
An american's american
Just like you

(Solo)

Meet me tomorrow dressed in black and white
Six shooter waiting on John wayne's right
Escape now
I hate now

Come back to me with your bottle of fears
Commit yourself to a steady career
And that's that
Forget that

But I just wanna hold your hand
I wanna scrape my knees now
I wanna be in good blood
I wanna be an american
An american's american
Just like you

My darling
It's over now
Give up.
