The hard times are getting harder It's colder where you are You wonder, would it kill me to call? I've already made you too many promises I never meant to keep But that's just a side of me I wish you never had to see I took a shot in the dark, but I came up short And I swear to God this time it's gonna hurt Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me I watch my shadow stretch from my feet Like the way we stretch the truth I wish I could play the victim for you I just needed room to breathe My world collapsed on me And I miss screaming off rooftops in New York City I took a shot in the dark, but I came up short And I swear to God this time it's gonna hurt Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me This isn't my confession But I'm coming clean I knew it was just a matter of time Before this all would catch up with me Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me (Can we pretend?) Can we pretend (Sing myself to sleep) (Can we pretend?) 'Cause you made a liar out of me Can we pretend that it never even happened? I will sing myself to sleep, 'cause you made a liar out of me

The mayor hides the crime rate Council woman hesitates Public gets irate but forget the vote date Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it's raining Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting You're not like all of the rest Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected Politicians using, people they're abusing The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river And you tell me that this is where it's at Woke up this morning with an ache in my head I splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed I opened the window to listen to the news But all I heard was the Establishment's Blues. Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring Divorce the only answer smoking causes cancer This system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune And that's a concrete cold fact The pope digs population, freedom from taxation Teeny Bops are uptight, drinking at a stoplight Miniskirt is flirting I can't stop so I'm hurting Spinster sells her hopeless chest Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted Living by a time piece, new war in the Far East Can you pass the Rorschach test? It's a hassle, it's an educated guess. Well, frankly I couldn't care less

This ain't no rag, it's a flag And we don't wear it on our heads It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live Are you listening to what I said You're a coward and a fool And you broke all of the rules And you wounded our American pride And now we're coming with a gun And we know you're gonna run But you can't find no place to hide We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound Make you pay for the lives you stole We're all through talking and a messing around And now it's time to rock and roll These colors don't run and we're speaking as one When we say united we stand When you mess with one, you mess with us all Every boy, girl, woman and man You've been acting mighty rash And talking that trash Let me give you some advice You can crawl back in your hole Like a dirty little mole But now it's time to pay the price You might of shot us in the back Now you have to face the fact That the big boys' in the game And the thunder's been crashing And the lightning's been flashing And now it's getting ready to rain This is the United States of America The land of the brave and the free We believe in God and we believe in justice We believe in liberty You've been pulling our chain We should've done something 'bout you a long time ago But now the flag's flying high and the fur's gonna fly And soon the whole world's gonna know This ain't no rag, it's a flag Old Glory red, white and blue The stars and the stripes when it comes to a fight We can do what we have to do Our people stand proud The American crowd is faithful, and loyal and tough We're good as the best and better than the rest And you're gonna find out soon enough When you look up in the sky And you see the eagle fly You better know he's a heading your way 'Cause this ain't no rag it's a flag And it stands for the USA USA USA USA USA --- Instrumental --- When you look up in the sky And you see the eagle fly You better know he's a heading your way 'Cause this ain't no rag it's a flag And it stands for the USA (Child recites, while band chants USA, USA) I pledge allegiance, to the flag Of the United States of America And to the Republic, for which it stands One Nation, under God, indivisible With liberty and justice for all)...

Take a knife and cut through the darkness, castle-temp red wine But I make no plans and none can be broken, no plans and none can be broken Remember us just like this forever, nut this can't last, won't last So make no plans and none can be broken, no plans and none can be broken Do you laugh about me whenever I leave? Or do I just need more therapy? Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out And I don't care, I just gotta figure out a window to break out Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out, fake-out My mood board is just pictures of you, but I'm not sad anymore So make no plans and none can be broken, no plans and none can be broken But I didn't take the love when I had the chance, but I swear I'm not sad anymore So make no plans and none can be broken, no plans and none can be broken Do you laugh about me whenever I leave? Or do I still need more therapy? Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out And I don't care, I just gotta figure out a window to break out Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out, fake-out Oh-oh, we all started out as shiny dimes But we all got flipped too many times We did it for futures that never came And for pasts that we're never gonna change Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out And I don't care, I just gotta figure out a window to break out Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out, fake-out
