America is a big country
|
America is a big idea
|
I once got a fortune cookie that said
|
America is a place where people can invent themselves
|
So when I found myself making out with two girls at once at the Linkin Memorial in Washington, DC
|
I knew what that fortune cookie said had been
|
Beautiful, strange and true
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Wake up to America, up to America
|
Feel your broken heart
|
Beaten' like a drum
|
Wake up to America, up to America
|
Even in the dark
|
Shine for everyone
|
|
America, I've been reading your history
|
And alot of it sounds like Empire building
|
America the world needs a foreign policy of compassion
|
I still believe that somewhere underneath all this mess
|
America's a good country
|
Coz' I guess I believe that people in their hearts are esentially good
|
They just get greedy and they get scared
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
America it must get so lonley being you sometimes
|
Up all night, no one to share the long drives with
|
Don't worry we won't let you fall asleep at the wheel
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Wake up to America, up to America
|
Up to America
|
Up to America
|
Up to America
|
Up to America
|
America
|
Wake up to America, up to America
|
|

Wake Up To America
