Born in Time
To learn to love the bomb became today's new trepidation
We were young when it began to become God under one nation
There's lunatics in politics, I guess that never changes
You have to have a few screws loose to think we're still the basis
Of the world's great superpowers when this country needs a facelift
To try to hide the well worn lines and Crow's feet of a racist
Planted firmly in the fertile soil of our old confederation
Maybe tonight
We admit that something's wrong
What's on your mind
When you realize that it's gone?
In a past perfect world I want you to define
'Cause I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
Believing your conspiracies is easier than tasting
The blood you spit from taking hits in an attempt to change it
So punch me in and punch me out and cut me when i'm fading
And open up my eyes to see the praising of the pavement
When talking heads begin to scream our home is not the place
Something we finally agree upon, this world is a replacement
And the only thing that's evergreen's those presidential faces
Maybe tonight
We admit that something's wrong
What's on your mind
When you realize that it's gone?
In a fast forward world I just wanna rewind
'Cause I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
It won't be called a masterpiece the same day that it's painted
With brush strokes from the blood of folks
Stained red on graves still nameless
And everything we've ever been's because somebody claimed it
The justice puzzle incomplete her scales tipped towards the favorites
Who want a world devoid of love and love to watch the hatred
So face to face with grace and all we'll fight until we're breaking
This land is yours this land is mine we're all we have, we're sacred
Maybe tonight
We admit that something's wrong
What's on your mind
When you realize that it's gone?
In a vast lonely world I want you by my side
'Cause I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
I was born in the USA
But I was not
Born in time
We were young when it began to become God under one nation
There's lunatics in politics, I guess that never changes
You have to have a few screws loose to think we're still the basis
Of the world's great superpowers when this country needs a facelift
To try to hide the well worn lines and Crow's feet of a racist
Planted firmly in the fertile soil of our old confederation
Maybe tonight
We admit that something's wrong
What's on your mind
When you realize that it's gone?
In a past perfect world I want you to define
'Cause I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
Believing your conspiracies is easier than tasting
The blood you spit from taking hits in an attempt to change it
So punch me in and punch me out and cut me when i'm fading
And open up my eyes to see the praising of the pavement

'Cause I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
I was born in the USA, but I was not born in time
I was born in the USA
But I was not
Born in time
