America, the beautiful, America, the great
Land of the free, home of the brave
Souls who find no peace of mind
For what much feel like the thousandth time
This freedom ain't what it seems

So give me the broken, you take the whole
I'll show you something worth so much more
Than a perfect figure, a frame of some sorta standard way
They said a change was gonna come
But I ain't seen nothing new under the sun
If a change is to be, we better lead the way

How many times must we make the same mistakes?
To the learn from the wrongs of the past?
Just how long will it be till we realize the stakes?
And stop bluffing with a withered, weaker hand

So give me the broken, you take the whole
I'll show you something worth so much more
Than a perfect figure, a frame of some sorta standard way
They said a change was gonna come
But I ain't seen nothing new under the sun
If a change is to be, we better lead the way

So give me the broken, you take the whole
I'll show you something worth so much more
Than a perfect figure, a frame of some sorta standard way
They said a change was gonna come
But I ain't seen nothing new under the sun
If a change is to be, we better lead the way
If a change is to be, we better lead
We better lead the way
