Hey America, how you been?
I've been on the outside, just lookin' in
Down in the shadows, hidden from view
Surrounded by lies and hid from the truth
Well, hey America, alright
I've kept my mouth shut all this time
And now I don't know what to say
But I know what's on my mind
There's something eating me away
Something gnawing deep inside
Hey America, alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
I won't whore myself for you
No patriotic prostitute
No soldier boy, red, white and blue
All you've offered, I've refused...I've refused it all
Well, hey America, alright
I've kept my mouth shut all this time
And now I don't know what to say
But I know what's on my mind
There's something eating me away
Something gnawing deep inside
Hey America, alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Hey America, here I am
Trying to find out just where to stand
Well, point me to the promised land
And try to save me if you can...if you think you can
Well, hey America, alright
I've kept my mouth shut all this time
And now I don't know what to say
But I know what's on my mind
There's something eating me away
Something gnawing deep inside
Hey America, alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
