My America

My America was fun
Met her in front of the mirror
She was trying to look pretty
So her daddy would say something
Something different than just laughing
Something better than not looking
Something sweeter than the screams
When they were making love with fighting

And there inside my eyes
I saw beyond my face
I live another life
Let's see a different fate
And there between the lines
Thought I could run away
I wrapped up all my nights
And learnt from my mistakes
Still somehow I felt safe
Safe, safe

It was my time for revolution
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
There's no place like revolution
A humankind of revo', revo'
A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
As there's no place like revolution (revo', revo')

My America was big
So I could get lost in it
And then America got darker
So no one could even find me
My America was friendly
But it had no arms to save me
My America got lonely
When I left my dreams behind me

And there between the lines
Started to dream away
I wrapped up all my nights
And learnt from my mistakes
Still somehow I felt safe
Safe, safe
This was my time for revo', for revo'

A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
There's no place like revolution
A humankind of revo', revo'

A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
There's no place like revolution
A humankind of revo', revo'

My own kind, my own kind, my
My own kind, my own kind, my
My own kind, my own kind, my
My own kind, my own kind, my

My America was gold
Way before it was called golden
Boys and girls were wearing stones
And my favourite one was turquoise

A perfect yellow light
Shooting through my window curtains
Didn't need no DOP
My film had to be my own life
My film had to be my life
Life, life
This was my time for revo', for revo'

A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
There's no place like revolution
A humankind of revo', revo'

A good time for revolution
A good place for revolution
There's no place like revolution
A humankind of revo', revo'

My own kind, my own kind, my
My own kind, my own kind, my
My own kind, my own kind, my
My own kind, my own kind, my
