lyrics

oh say can you see my eyes if you can,
i'm only one man in a million man march
with a million moms
on the white house lawn
where the white man inside
without a thought of his own
with a million arms
billions and billions served
i'm at your service
although the uniforms do
make me nervous.
i swear to tell the truth,
the whole and unholy truth.
dr. ruth, i saw her on oprah
with deepak chopra
saying 'judge not lest ye be
judge judy in disguise'
sweet judy blue eyes,
i love lucy in the sky.
billions and billions of stars,
what was here before i was?
what will be here when i'm gone?
they used to say 'love it or leave it'
'change it or lose it'
'fix it or fuck it'
i say we choose it.
american history x, don't tell me i'm next.
i've got to sing this song
for the sundancers
i've got to sing this song for the rebels,
i've got to sing this song for the seekers,
your prayers will be answered,
in the order in which they are received,
just don't be deceived,
if it seems to be too good to be believed,
remember, before you seek enlightenment,
you've got to face your darkness.
america, my thoughts and prayers are with you,
just don't tell me what to think,
just don't tell me how to pray.
don't tell me what i can or cannot say
or which songs i can play on independence day.
so i go outside to feel the rain
& i close my eyes so i can see the rain.
billions & billions...
