America - Sufjan Stevens

Composed by：Sufjan Stevens

Is it love you're after

A sign of the flood or one more disaster

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

I have loved you

I have grieved

I am ashamed to admit I no longer believe

I have loved you

I received

I have traded my love for a picture of the scenery

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

I give it all up in laughter

The sign of the cross awaiting disaster

A dove flew to me like a vision of paranoia

Love flew to me like a vision of paranoia

I have loved you

Like a dream

I have kissed your lips like a Judas in heat

I have worshiped

I believed

I have broke your bread for a splendor of machinery

Don't look at me like I'm acting hysterical

Don't look at me like I'm acting hysterical

I have worshipped

I have cried

I have put my hands in the wounds on your side

I have tasted of your blood

I have choked on the waters

I have bade in the flood

I am broken

I am beat

But I will find my way like a Judas in heat

I am fortune

I am free

I'm like a fever of light

In the land of opportunity

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you do to yourself

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you do to yourself

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you do to yourself

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you do to yourself

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America
