American News

The sea met the sunset
In the shades of a bruise
Burnt out from another day
Of American news
I took your hand
As we walked into the dark
Left those big waves crashing
By Golden Gate Park

Another twelve kids shot
At another grade school
All their lives were abandoned
In the hands of a fool
In the land of milk and honey
All those daughters and sons
Walked to class down the barrel
Of a gun

Who do you want to be
What do you want to do
'Cause most people got debt
They just can't see through
Sickness is expensive
And work is cheap
The only dreams we dream
Are in our sleep

Haven't felt okay
For a long time now
If the U.S. is the best
Man I don't see how
Wanna run away
But to where I don't know
'Cause when the whole world's on fire
Where the hell do you go

Let's get on a plane
We've paid our dues
And honey I'm sick to death
Of this American news
