martyn joseph - lonely like america lyrics

[intro]
one, two, one, two
one, a+one, two, three, four

[verse 1]
redwood forest, gulf stream water
stallion wild, big country sky
cactus sculptures, widowed prairies
new york rains and texas dry
frontier boomtowns of displacement
scored a patriotic win
your money bearing rushmore’s giants
ah, but your dollar’s paper+thin

[chorus]
i’m lonely like america
land of less and more and a
i’m lonely like america
this mythic graceland tour and a
the pioneers are racketeers
sepia wagon trains
across the midwest plain
lonely like america
lonely like america

[verse 2]
norma desmond’s withered mansion
travis bickle’s raging streets
martin luther king’s last journey
from memphis for the mercy seat
and now the curse of steinbeck’s offspring
the poor foreclosed and left to bleed
a wounded bear, a tethered eagle
are in a cage of make believe
[chorus]
i’m lonely like america
land of less and more and a
i’m lonely like america
this mythic graceland tour and a
the pioneers are racketeers
sepia wagon trains
across the midwest plain
lonely like america
lonely like america

[bridge]
but i know you’ve seen the mountain
you’ve breathed the words of destiny
abe lincoln calling to this nation
to ring the bell of liberty
to ring that bell called liberty
to ring it out for you and me

[chorus]
’cause we are lonely like america
land of less and more and a
i’m lonely like america
this mythic graceland tour and a
the pioneers are racketeers
sepia wagon trains
cross the midwest plain
lonely like america
the hustler and the free
lonely like america
from sea to shining sea
the flag that’s draped around the brave
stars and stripes of deep dismay
simply not having a nice day
we are lonely, we are america
lonely like america
lonely like america
like america
[outro]
lonely like america
lonely like america
