Mistress America
There was a song you used to play
Before they drove you away
But I remember every stroke
Of every chord you played, eh-eh
And in the room they gave the band
I thought I heard you say
That rock and roll's the perfect scam
But it's a crime that doesn't pay, eh-eh
But for Mistress America, I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this time
Think we're gonna do fine
And I've never prayed before
But if it keeps the devil from your door
I'll kneel down and bruise my knees
On your hard linoleum floor
'Cause I thought I saw the light
But it was just a satellite station
Just another human creation
Oh, where are we gonna run to now?
Oh, well, Mistress America, I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this time
Think we're gonna do fine
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Oh, well, Mistress America, I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this time
Think we're gonna do fine
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Before they drove you away
But I remember every stroke
Of every chord you played, eh-eh
And in the room they gave the band
I thought I heard you say
That rock and roll's the perfect scam
But it's a crime that doesn't pay, eh-eh
But for Mistress America, I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this time
Think we're gonna do fine
And I've never prayed before
But if it keeps the devil from your door
I'll kneel down and bruise my knees
On your hard linoleum floor
'Cause I thought I saw the light
But it was just a satellite station
Just another human creation
Oh, where are we gonna run to now?
Oh, well, Mistress America, I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this time
Think we're gonna do fine
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Oh, well, Mistress America, I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this time
Think we're gonna do fine
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
Where do we run to now?
