playing with america

lyric + music by skylark

cry in the corner


hide your head in the sand

you’re just an angry broken child

playing with america

tell another story


pretend you have a soul


you can blame your way to china

if you dig a deeper hole

i see sickness all around you

death is in the wings

all your little men surround you

and sing praises to their king

one day the sun will come out shining

like flowers after rain


april turn to may


then you blow it all away

like a miracle

you’re at the center of attention

right where you want to be


you don’t know what you’re doing

and don’t believe in what you see

you been lying in the nude


with every word you say


i feel my mother earth is dying

a little more each day

one day the sun will come out shining

like flowers after rain


april turn to may


then you blow it all away

like a miracle

you’re just an angry broken child

playing with america
