Story behind the song
I've been stewing for years. I started writing this in early summer 2001. It's time to evaluate ourselves.
Lyrics
Someone said I would wake up in the morning Something says I’ll awake tonight Someone said I would be wise for the warning I don’t know if this thought is right A stupid little man with stupid little dreams Says he’s holding off the holy war Soon or later when we wake up We'll find he's the reason we're dying for In America we wake up in the morning We make a living and we sleep at night In America our pride is distorting We take a privilege and trade it for a right That’s not right There’s an overseeing reason we perceive is always right But when you try the jury you must confess That it all looks strange in a shady light In America we wake up in the morning We raise our children and we sleep at night In America our pride is conforming To take a privilege and trade it for a right It all comes down to what you know It all falls down if you don’t It all will come around if you hold… True… In America…
