LETTER TO AMERICA (3:59)
copyright: williams/spagnolo

In Russia today, I know
Things really changed, woh-oh
Bang bang went the shoe at the UN

Here comes the rain, you’d better run for your life if you can
You’d better remember, how it felt in your heart when you lived for America
And here comes the rain, you’d better pray there’s no fallout ahead
I’ll never surrender, if the worlds going to change let me stay an American

Big brothers insane, woh-oh
In Moscow today, they know
Bang bang went the shoe at the UN
Now who’ll bury who, what do you mean?
Disney Land is no fun in the dark

Here comes the rain, you’d better run for your life if you can
You’d better remember, how it felt in your heart when you lived for America
And here comes the rain, you’d better pray there’s no fallout ahead
I’ll never surrender, if the worlds going to change let me stay an American

So blow me away, knock the sun, fall out of the sky
Nobody surrendered, nobody remembered

In D.C. today, hello
I wonder if anybody’s home

Here comes the rain, you’d better run for your life if you can
You’d better remember, how it felt in your heart when you lived for America
And here comes the rain, you’d better pray there’s no fallout ahead
I’ll never surrender, if the worlds going to change let me stay an American
Here comes the rain
