The landlords came
            
The peasant trials
               
To sacrifice of men
                               
Through the past and that quite darkly
                   
The presence once again
               
In the name of capital
   
Establishment
                
Improvers, its a name
           
The hidden truths
           
The hidden lies
          
That once nailed you
       
To the pain

           
They did a dance
         
Called America
     
They danced it round
                 
And waited at the turns
      
For America
                       
They danced their ladies round

       
To the candles
      
Of enlightenment
                       
Once lit they say don't burn
                           
To turn the darkest room of suffering
                     
To a greater state of pain
                       
Don't tell me that's behind you now
      
Don't greet me
                     
Don't meet your dying blind
                        
It's our very last stand together
         
So let’s sever
      
No regrets

           
They did a dance
         
Called America
     
They danced it round
                 
And waited at the turns
      
For America
                       
They danced their ladies round

           
There were days
               
That once held confidence
                               
Strength of will and mind
                                    
The camouflage that once washed your fathers
                       
Your sons and daughters time
        
Another Tounge
            
My love, my island
                      
You've gone international
                           
With all the praying men of God
                             
Who stood and watched it all go on 

           
They did a dance
         
Called America
     
They danced it round
                 
And waited at the turns
      
For America
                       
They danced their ladies round

           
They did a dance
         
Called America
     
They danced it round
                 
And waited at the turns
      
For America
                       
They danced their ladies round
