mea culpa - waiting for america lyrics
verse 1
hard to call myself “american,” knowing what i know
one hand soaked in blood, while the other offers hope
history weighs down on me, up close you can see the lies
one long hidden m-ssacre, one big organized crime
chorus
i’ve given up on any miracles
now i’m just waiting for america
they say this country’s revolution’s done
well i’m still waiting for america
verse 2
waiting for reality to live up to the myth
of, by and for the people, released from slavery’s grip
where privilege has no power, where the stifled can breath free
i still believe in the idea, though it’s never been achieved
(chorus)
bridge
this country breaks my heart each day
but somehow i still believe
for all the contradicitons of our past
there’s something more we could be
i’m still waiting for america!!!
