"Hopes & Dreams" lyrics

There are tears rollin down my front and back
There's a mirror holding up a one eyed jack
There's a hurricane swinging at a lowly shack
In the land of hopes and dreams

There's a compass lost on the open sea
Another shooter levels a community
There's a steady stream of insanity
In the land of hopes and dreams

There's a dog with a nuclear bomb in it's mouth
Hey old white man meet the brave new south
Don't it make you wanna scream and shout
In the land of hopes and dreams

My TV is as busy as a can of bait
Point and click and get it now you never have to wait
But your airplane is gonna be a little bit late
In the land of hopes and dreams

My eyes and my ears and my senses are tired
Everybody's scared everybody's inspired
The world is under water and it's also on fire
In the land of hopes and dreams

Great America
Come on come on
We're bathing in hysteria
There's litter on the lawn
If it's smoking while we're sleeping
There'll be fire in the dawn
So come on America come on come on

You talk like this but you live like that
It says go back home on your welcome mat
Is someone really saying that the world is flat
In the land of hopes and dreams

There is constant unchecked brutality
A brave man takes a stand by dropping to a knee
I'll try to understand you try to understand me
In the land of hopes and dreams

I'll try to understand you try to understand me
In the land of hopes and dreams
