Whit Page - America, America (Woodshop Sessions)

Recorded live at the Woodshop on July 16th, 2023.
lyrics:
America, america
God shed some grace on thee
From sea to shiny sea
She could use a friend indeed
Those beautiful spacious skies
Now a hazy shade of green
People cannot breathe
He said, “Mama, I can’t breathe.”
I don’t want to read the news today
They keep telling me that I’m free
When the gasoline’s going cheap
But it’s killing me in my sleep
And I keep waking up to this american dream
America, america
colonizes land
And claims she’s greater than
The people that she damns
I don’t want to read the news today
They keep telling me that I’m free
Hey, the gasoline’s going cheap
But it’s killing me in my sleep
And I keep
The blue, white and red
An emblem in threads
Unwavering, unraveling
C’mon, pull the halyard
Take it down
Or they’ll keep telling us that we’re free
Hey the gasoline’s not cheap
Oh it’s killing me in my sleep
And I keep waking up to this american dream
