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

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 compassion

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

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 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

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

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
