Ben Lee - Wake Up To America lyrics

America is a big country America is a big idea I once got a fortune cookie that said America is a place where people can invent themselves So when I found myself making out with two girls at once at the Linkin Memorial in Washington, DC I knew what that fortune cookie said had been Beautiful, strange and true [Chorus] Wake up to America, up to America Feel your broken heart Beaten' like a drum Wake up to America, up to America Even in the dark Shine for everyone America, I've been reading your history And alot of it sounds like Empire building America the world needs a foreign policy of compa**ion I still believe that somewhere underneath all this mess America's a good country Coz' I guess I believe that people in their hearts are esentially good They just get greedy and they get scared [Chorus] America it must get so lonley being you sometimes Up all night, no one to share the long drives with Don't worry we won't let you fall asleep at the wheel [Chorus] Wake up to America, up to America Up to America Up to America Up to America Up to America America Wake up to America, up to America
