lily talmers - miss america lyrics

[vers 1]
miss america
slies onto the scene shines like some old dream
so far, life’s been in kind
but you’ve been wasting time, has that flown through your mind?

[pre+chorus 1]
and i’ve been staring at you, darling
sitting back and wondering what the h+ll you’re gonna do
when all the force has run the gamut, and you sit back, and dammit
now it’s up to you

[chorus 1]
you who eat your dinner with the tv on
and who smile thinking everybody else is wrong
yes, you who drink your coffee with the curtains drawn
yet, still it’s you that we’re all counting on

[verse 2]
so miss america
gal, you know the drill, could you just stand still?
doc says this won’t hurt
so close your eyes and learn about how all this works

[pre+chorus 2]
’cause i’ve been staring at you, darling
sitting back and wondering how the h+ll you got this far
on loans as tall as new york city
skyscr+pers look so pretty ’til you’re jumping off
[chorus 2]
as one who don’t read nothing but the bold+faced lines
and whose prophets may as well be reading coffee grinds
got all that ammunition just to blow your mind
oh, miss america, they’ve fed you lies

[bridge]
darling, don’t be shy
you don’t have to cry, you gon’ be just fine
papers, they don’t burn
your voice will be heard, no matter how it’s earned

[pre+chorus 2]
and i’ve been staring at you darling
sitting back and wondering what the h+ll you’re gonna do
when all that force has run the gamut, and you sit back, and dammit
now it’s up to you

[chorus 3]
yes, you with all your jewelry and your high heels on
think your looks are gonna last until the kingdom come
and who won’t apologize because she’s too far gone
dear, still it’s you that we’re all counting on

[chorus 4]
yes, you who’s always dressing up in preacher’s clothes
with your index finger wagging with the wind that blows
how could your heart be open if the door is closed?
and still, it’s you that we’re all counting on
