Lyrics of New America by MARINA
verse
Everything that made you great only made you bad
Made the people hate all the good they had (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I know that you had big dreams, that you had big plans
But abuse won't make, won't make a free land (oh-oh-oh-oh)
pre-chorus
You got a white picket fence and your dad's got a gun
And when you see the police, there's no reason to run
You got a job and a car and a good dental plan
You got health insurance, pocket money, damn
chorus
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues (oh-oh-oh-oh)
America, this is a new America
Stars are shinin' for you
Sparklin' red and blue (oh-oh-oh-oh)
verse
Fucked with the food chain
Fucked with the farming too
And now our food don't taste
Like it's meant to do (oh-oh-oh-oh)
pre-chorus
They've got blood on their hands 'cause they stole all the land
And all the lies they're here to raise made them feel like a man
Who gave you jazz, hip hop, rock and roll and the blues?
No matter what, the story's catching up on you
chorus
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
America, this is a new America
Stars are shinin' for you
Sparklin' red and blue (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
bridge
White teeth, dark smile
You've been in pain for a while
You can't hide your secrets, we can see
America
America, America
You can't bury the truth
It's time to pay your dues
chorus
Stars are shinin' for you (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause freedom's sparklin' soon (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
America, this is a new America
Stars are shinin' for you
Sparklin' red and blue (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Writer(s): Marina Lambrini Diamandis
