The English Assassin

Lyrics

Dear America, I hate to leave this way
It really has been something, but now I feel betrayed
You told me I was special before you pulled the rug away
I guess I have been dreaming, now I am awake

Dear America, that shining city on the hill
Pretending to be perfect, oh it was such a thrill
I love you and I hate you, but that is nothing new
It's always been conflicted in our little rendezvous

Dear America
Dear America
Dear America
Dear America

Dear America, you were never what you seem
There was always something hidden, always something mean
And yes, it was exciting, but maybe just too much
You're the one who's breaking up, so will you really hold a grudge

Dear America
Dear America
Dear America
Dear America

No more meeting up in Memphis, no more loving in LA
No more doing it in Denver or in San Jose
No more crazy in Chicago or Pittsburgh, PA

Dear America, what has he done to you
I have to keep on searching for the America I knew
I know you're in there somewhere, don't wanna say goodbye
I hate to see you falling for this sleazy shakedown guy
Dear America

Dear America
Dear America
Dear America
Dear America

Dear America
Dear America
I have to say goodbye
