Bitter Joke Songtext
von Craig Smith

She is not a politician
She′s not a symbol of power
She is not a fallen warrior
She is just an idea
As a gift she was given
Paid for by the common man
To a country just beginning
A new world was the plan
And liberty, I hope
Is not just a bitter joke
Liberty, I hope
Liberty, I hope
Is not just a bitter joke
Yeah, we'll take your huddled masses
Give me your tired and your poor
Just follow the flame
You′ll find the golden door
Yeah, you started off so well
With your power, your strength
Now it seems you take things for granted Seems you've lost your way
And liberty, I hope
Is not just a bitter joke
Liberty, I hope
Liberty, I hope
Is not just a bitter joke
Have you forgotten where you came from
What you set out to do
Yeah, the dream was so beautiful
And only the strong will see it through
'Cause she′s not a politician
She′s not a symbol of power
She is not a fallen warrior
She is just an idea
Liberty, I hope
Is not just a bitter joke
Liberty, I hope
Liberty, I hope
Is not just a bitter joke
