America Songtext
von Sky

Staring out at the old man
Watching trains go by
Well he lives his life on promises
But I′m afraid that promise is all he's got
You know life′s too short to never take
But if you stand aside it'll pass you by

And he's from some place they call America
Yeah but he′s nothing more than a dead man walking
And he′s from some place they call America
Yeah America

And ever since he was a boy
He had dreams


Dreams the size of God
And he was making plans
Building buildings
He was gonna have the world in his pocket
The Brooklyn Bridge in his hand
Now he looks outside his window
And sees his past coming down on him
For the rest of his life
He will feel us kicking him down

Into a world that's starting again my friend

And he′s from some place they call America
Yeah but he's nothing more than a dead man walking
And he′s from some place they call America
Yeah America

Taking me down
Taking the old man down
Taking me down
Taking many lives
America

And he's from some place they call America
Yeah but he′s nothing more than a dead man walking
And he's from some place they call America
Yeah America

Taking it all away
Some place they call home
And he's from some place they call America
Yeah America
Taking it all away
