American News
Hey
Saw you at the protest
But didn't get your name
Are we still talking?
Saw the wind was blowing
But couldn't read the vane
We're in the running
Have you seen the numbers?
The country's gone insane
Am I still talking?
Rather keep our hands up
If it's all the same to you
Somethin' in the water's
Been keeping me alive
You're looking pensive
Don't you know it's their fault
That you're back here in line?
I'm not defensive
You could have this money
In very little time
You're so defensive
I just got this feeling
That no one's on your side
I should know (I should know)
I should know (I should know)
Ain't nothin' new, American news
I should know (I should know)
I should know (I should know)
No use in waiting for a better youth
But it's prime time, anything for ratings
You and I would cross the line
Is it my fault democracy is dying?
World's burning down tonight
And yeah I've seen it!
Yeah I got it on tape!
You can take my word for it,
Don't need to know my name
Cause here there's goblins
And they're coming for your house!
Come survey the carnage
And wash away all doubts
This is our ending
But there's money to be made!
Each and every one of you
Can still come and be saved
And I'm no doctor
But I've done my research!
That's the good name of the lord
You're trying to besmirch!
I should know (I should know)
I should know (I should know)
Ain't nothin' new, American news
I should know (I should know)
I should know (I should know)
No use in waiting for a better youth
But it's prime time, anything for ratings
You and I would cross the line
Is it my fault democracy is dying?
World's burning down tonight
Saw you at the protest
But didn't get your name
Are we still talking?
Saw the wind was blowing
But couldn't read the vane
We're in the running

The country's gone insane
