Afraid of America
Why
Where your next door neighbour wants to be James Dean
Without the hard work and the bloody scene
Open up the curtains, and look at the road work
Our friends are conforming, but they've got a savings account
Everyone feels they're destined for love
But destiny's weird if it taught you to punch
If a bird could be jealous, they would probably wanna run
'Cause they forget what it's like to fly
But I've got what I need
With you next to me
So why would we leave? (Yeah)
You say it's not far away
Why you wanna play it safe?
We could wake up
Where dreams are made of
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America
Air Force 1s and Chevrolets
Anytime you want it, babe
We could wake up
Where dreams are made of
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America, yeah
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America
Adaptability, accountability
Accessibility, thinking politically
Kids on a livestream with tears in their eyes
Soho house and a beachside drive
Waterless cities
Wine on ice
50 million dollars on a football game
Football fame, football fans
Don't know if I wanna be a football man
'Cause I got what I need
With you next to me
So why would we leave?
(What I do know is I love you) yeah!
You say it's not far away
Why you wanna play it safe?
We could wake up
Where dreams are made of
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America
Air Force 1s and Chevrolets
Anytime you want it, babe
We could wake up
Where dreams are made of
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America, yeah
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America
Jesus loves you, yes he does
I was born right in the sun
On a back road in Boston
Gold in my hair and a streak on my cheek
I know we can make it, babe
Come here and say my name
On a back road in Wisconsin
Gold in your hair, we can make it in America
You say it's not far away
Why you wanna play it safe?
We could wake up
Where dreams are made of
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America
Air Force 1s and Chevrolets
Anytime you want it, babe
We could wake up
Where dreams are made of
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America, yeah
I'm not scared of your love
I'm afraid of America
