Americana Songtext
von OAU

Dropped into a macrocosm, God knows I can′t see
Fire another cigarette, in blatant blasphemy
Truth and lies are coupling tomorrow's on the line
Wasn′t there another thing we'd left to realign

Jack and Jill are stumbling, they've found the water′s brown
Hand in hand to keep from falling further in the ground
Trace their steps to only find their home is blown away
Authorities are disinclined, the trust has been betrayed
′Cause it's too late

And mothers dread their unborn children born into this land
Times have changed, this modern age will slap you on the hand
Poverty and suffering, it seems they′re common place
The winds of change are blustering, will you be replaced?


'Cause it′s too late for my brothers
It's too late for my sisters
It′s too late for society to wait
Ah, we gotta choose a side (side)

Ooh, will you watch in apathy as cities start to quake?
And will you turn a slivered eye on those lost in the wake?
Will you run until the sea to save your precious skin?
Hunted as an escapee, blackened from within

'Cause it's too late for my brothers
It′s too late for my sisters
It′s too late for my mother
It's too late for my father, yeah
It′s too late for my daughter
It's too late for my sons
It′s too late for society to wait, yeah
We gotta choose a side, yeah
