My Country

My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty How come I cannot see My future within your arms? Your love it drags me down Into the underground My country bleeding me I will not stay in your arms No not yet At the Salvation Army Making us all stand in a line While Mommy and Daddy make up And try to make up their mind Oh the shame I felt When those histories mentioned my name! If only I could forget But memory's my favorite game We cannot all have it Well what I am I supposed to say to those other guys So sorry but you only stood half a chance Now it's over and they're walkin all over you We cannot all have it Well why is there juice dripping under your chin When they have nothing why do you have something When they have nothing The worst thing about living a lie Is just wondering when they'll find out I've got me, you've got you That's one plus one plus two I never told you what to do But then you put me in some box I've got you, you've got me Like a baby's got a bumblebee I told myself I'd have to jump higher If I was gonna get over your shit We cannot all have it Well what do you want me to say to the others Oh yes there's a place for you But that place is underneath the cushion of my behind We cannot all have it Well why did you say so! With my eyes open how can I feel happy? With my eyes open If nothing of this is ours How will I ever know when something's mine?
