City on the Hill

[00:12.23] All the founding fathers sewed their seeds
[00:15.84] In the southern coast
[00:18.54] All the godless heathens had to leave
[00:22.11] To make a newer world
[00:24.86] So we could live together in America
[00:31.28] Justice is blinding so is love
[00:42.16] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[00:48.49] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[00:50.27] All the stolen melodies they played
[00:53.85] In the hit parade
[00:58.48] All the power spirituals they fade
[01:00.24] In a salute
[01:02.02] So we could sing together in America
[01:08.32] Black sermon anthem, painted love
[01:14.78] Polystyrene 100 dollar bills
[01:20.17] To build a shining city on the hill
[01:24.64] (Forgot them all!)
[01:26.46] There's no cure for pain or shame
[01:29.25] You just have to be this way
[01:38.24] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[01:44.60] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[01:46.46] If you steal and hustle don't get caught
[01:50.01] Gotta risk it all
[01:55.47] Hang on every note that they read off
[01:56.33] For the Powerball
[01:59.08] We'll all get rich together in America
[02:05.41] Money's indifferent – so is love
[02:11.74] Trash bags full of 100 dollar bills
[02:15.32] (Statues on the wall)
[02:17.11] We left that broke down city on the hill
[02:21.76] (Forget them all!)
[02:23.56] Have to relocate the past
[02:26.26] Because we're never going back
[03:07.01]
