Her love is thick and her arms are open wide,
from sea to shining sea and silently she strides,
delivering truth to all the open ears awaiting,
her lips are small but her words are devastating.
Yeah she’s heavy yet she’s lighter than a feather,
and claims that by her big toe she can tell the weather,
and she claimed everything these states, flora and fauna,
and through her fame gained the name Ms. Americana,
If it moves you, then it moves me,
as the world turns, gently around to the sound of,
blood and tears,
before your eyes, before your years.
And everywhere they look for something to believe in,
but they’re afraid that with your trust you might deceive them,
it’s like the last forty years we’ve all been sleeping,
and slept in vain we did while no dreams came for reaping,
And unrequited she’s been whored out to the masses,
and cut and spread divided across the upper classes,
while good men fell to Earth in fire, rain and lead,
and mothers gently wept over their empty beds...
If it moves you, then it moves me,
as the world turns, desperately to their voices,
blood and tears,
before your eyes, before your years.
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your years,
Before your eyes, before your
years.
