Lyrics
---If not for her eyes
if not for her eyes
i'd swallow her disguise
& call her America---
she's got the right stride
she knows all the freedom phrases
by the dawn's early light
she spinning complicated mazes
cause her G.W.B.
found no W.M.D.'s
so she's turning up the heat
with the critical code orange
she's got jesus on her side
and the devil on a leash
she walks them with her pride
through the belly of the beast
in the lamb's book of life
she's crossing names out with her knife
carving words of wisdom
and she owns the copywrite
THERE GOES AMERICA (x's 4)
----If not for her eyes
if not for her eyes
i'd swallow her disguise
& call her America---
she got a jackolantern smile
she's a grimacing old glory
if truth complicates her style
she can always change her story
and we'll say she knew it all along
she only lied to keep us strong,
she's out there spreading feedom's song
yeah, that girl is dy-no-mite
THERE GOES AMERICA (x's 8)
she's our woman on the go
she alway's in a hurry
impatient and aggressive
but she doesn't need to worry
cause she's got the biggest baddest gun
got the biggest brightest bomb
and she always carry's them along
even when she's dancing
THERE GOES AMERICA (x's 4)
----If not for her eyes
if not for her eyes
i'd swallow her disguise
& call her America---
