LYRICS

Verse 1
I see a man on the corner,
Cardboard sign in his hands.
He fought for a flag,
Now he’s beggin’ in the land he swore to stand.
Mothers cryin’ in silence,
Children lost in the night.
We all walk past like we’re blind,
Pretendin’ everything’s alright.

Chorus
This place called America…
Don’t look the same no more.
Where’s the dream we were fightin’ for,
Where’s the promise we swore?
The streets are filled with shadows,
And hope’s a dyin’ flame.
This place called America…
It ain’t callin’ my name.

Verse 2
The factories are empty,
The small towns left behind.
Main Street’s boarded up tight,
Like a memory locked in time.
We traded roots for dollar signs,
Sold our souls for cheap.
Now we’re drownin’ in the silence,
In a grave that’s six feet deep.

Chorus
This place called America…
Don’t look the same no more.
Where’s the dream we were fightin’ for,
Where’s the promise we swore?
The streets are filled with shadows,
And hope’s a dyin’ flame.
This place called America…
It ain’t callin’ my name.

Bridge

I still believe in freedom’s song,
But it feels like we’ve been singin’ it wrong.
The voices fade, the truth gets lost,
And we forget what it all once cost.

Final Chorus
This place called America…
Don’t look the same no more.
Where’s the dream we were fightin’ for,
Where’s the promise we swore?
The flag still waves in the distance,
But the stars don’t shine the same.
This place called America…
It’s just a broken name.

Outro
Yeah, I’m searchin’ for the country
That lived inside my soul.
But this place called America…
Ain’t the one I used to know.
