"Living In The USA" lyrics

"Living In The USA"

They say freedom is a natural thing
From cradle to grave, show the world what's at stake
A higher purpose walks these streets all around
In a sea of noise, it's still there but tuned out
Livin' in the USA

Share a little truth with your neighbor down the block
We've all got fossil fuel lungs while we run out the clock
Livin' in the USA
Livin' in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where's the empathy?
Where's the soul?
Livin' in the USA
Livin' in the USA

This land of freedom, all can live the dream they say
With voices crying out and sirens wailing away
Money flows through every back channel door
Cash crowns the king, there's no limits anymore
Livin' in the USA

Where the rule of law is now up for sale
Where wealth and privilege buy a ticket out of jail
Livin' in the USA
Livin' in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where's the empathy?
Where's the soul?
Livin' in the USA
Livin' in the USA

Dividers in the room riding platforms of fear
While rapid-fire hearts make way for tremolo tears
Charlatans will be deleted from our minds
Power invested in people, let the idea shine
Livin' in the USA

Cancellation noise on a rolling review
With the marching drums of change
Gonna power through to you
Livin' in the USA
Livin' in the USA
Where's the heart from days of old?
Where's the empathy?
Where's the soul?
Livin' in the USA
Livin' in the USA
