America, the beautiful, America, the great
Land of the free, home of the brave
Souls who find no peace of mind
For what much feel like the thousandth time
This freedom ain't what it seems
So give me the broken, you take the whole
I'll show you something worth so much more
Than a perfect figure, a frame of some sorta standard way

They said a change was gonna come
But I ain't seen nothing new under the Sun
If a change is to be, we better lead the way
How many times must we make the same mistakes?

To learn from the wrongs of the past?
Just how long will it be till we realize the stakes?
And stop bluffing with a withered, weaker hand
So give me the broken, you take the whole
I'll show you something worth so much more
Than a perfect figure, a frame of some sorta standard way

They said a change was gonna come
But I ain't seen nothing new under the Sun
If a change is to be, we better lead the way
So give me the broken, you take the whole
I'll show you something worth so much more
Than a perfect figure, a frame of some sorta standard way

They said a change was gonna come
But I ain't seen nothing new under the Sun
If a change is to be, we better lead the way
If a change is to be, we better lead
We better lead the way
