Ladies and gentleman, Merrill is performing at the-
My country, 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
How come I cannot see
My future within your arms
Your love it turns me down
Into the underground
My country bleeding me
I will not stay in your arms
Not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, eh-oh
Not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, yet
At the Salvation army, making us all stand in a line
While mommy and daddy make up and try to make up their mind
Oh, the shame I felt when those histories mention my name
If only I could forget, but memory's my favorite game
We cannot have it
Well, what am I supposed to say to those other guys
So sorry, but you only stood half a chance
Now it's over and they're walkin' all over you
We cannot have it
Well, then why is there juice dripping under your chin
When they have nothing, why do you have something
When they have nothing
The worst thing about living a lie
Is just wondering when they'll find out
I got me, you've got you
That's one plus one plus two
I never told you what to do
And then you put me in some box
I've got you, you've got me
Like a baby's got a bumblebee
I told myself I'd have to jump higher
If I was gonna get over your shit
We cannot have it
Well, then what do you want me to say to those others
Oh yes, there's a place for you
But that place is underneath the cushion of my behind
And you cannot have it
Well, then why did you say so
With my eyes open, how can I be happy?
With my eyes open
If nothing of this is ours
How will I ever know when something's mine?
My country, tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
How come I cannot see it
My country, tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty, yeah
The worst thing about living a lie
Is just wondering when they'll find out
My country, 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
How come I cannot see
My future within your arms
Your love it turns me down
Into the underground
My country bleeding me
I will not stay in your arms
Not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, eh-oh
Not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, yet
No, not yet, yet
No, not yet, yet, yet
At the Salvation army, making us all stand in a line
While mommy and daddy make up and try to make up their mind
Oh, the shame I felt when those histories mention my name
If only I could forget, but memory's my favorite game

So sorry, but you only stood half a chance
Now it's over and they're walkin' all over you
