F#5
Is it better not to look back or
         G#5
should we dust off our journals
                                         B5
Stare deep through the feedback for the new day
            F#5
Like the distortion has things to say


                  F#5
Is it better to ignore it, that
            G#5
these bomb shelters are built of sand
       B5
Scoring themes from our views, making movies of tragic news
         F#5
Does this helpless picnic have its own Neverland

Chorus
         F#5
America never hurts
                 G#5
They say America never cries
                        B5
Like no one's lost in America
                   F#5
No one's lost in America


              F#5
Listening to pink noise, we make
                    G#5
Mirrors out of shop windows
                          B5
No one dares to pull the red card,
                                   F#5
conscience is scared by truths we'd discard
               F#5                    G#5
And now we've Arilius, but soon comes Decious,
             B5
and perhaps Constantine is a devil
        F#5
Keen on making things easy

Chorus
E5                 B5       G#5
         Come alive, come alive
E5               B5          G#5       F#5
         Come alive, come alive


                      F#5
The prophet's cello's silenced,
                          G#5
If love burns us down to violence
                     B5
If the whims of the nations cater
                    F#5
elation will we not need a soul to blame?


                      F#5
He has to take it all alone
              G#5
Is His move political, a play for the people? No
                     B5
He takes one for the little guy
                       G#5
He takes a hit for the little guy


                 F#5
They say America never hurts
                  G#5
They say America never cries,
                         B5
Like no one's lonely in America
                          F#5
Like no one's lonely in America
