This is America - Leslie Kritzer/Greg Hildreth/Lilli Cooper/Howie Michael Smith
And could I really do it
And could I take a life
She might yet run
I've got no gun or rope or ax or knife
I guess I'm not a person who gets what she deserves
Oh well a swig of brandy that'll help to calm my nerves
Sarah
God voices not now please
How badly do you want to be a journalist
How badly do you want to taste success
How badly do you want them calling you savant
You only have to make a little mess
Oh this is how the world works Sarah
This is how it goes
Someone's leading someone by the nose
I suppose
Take a breath but then take action
If you don't someone will
This is America and in America
What do we do we kill
Oh god what do I do what do I do
I've never killed anything before
You bit that cat's throat as a teenager
It tried to lick me
I bet you all the papers will be quoting you
Oh can't you hear the clamor for your time
They'll gather around to hear reporter of the year
The one who draw attention to the crime
Oh this is how the world works Sarah
Someone has to score
Someone gets but someone else gets more
And what for
Exactly aren't you deserving Sarah
You should take your fill
This is America
God bless America
What do we do
We swallow down the part of us that's miserable
We swallow down the part of us that hurts
We take a deeper breath
And cause a person's death
And wipe away the blood that comes to smirch
Cause this is how the world works voices
This is how it turns
Someone fiddles meanwhile someone burns
Hallelujah she learns
All it takes is taking action
The country needs a thrill
Kill for America
I love America
What are you gonna do Sarah
Ah
Oh God Sarah what the ****
