Afraid of America

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why Where your next door neighbour wants to be James Dean Without the hard work and the bloody scene Open up the curtains, and look at the road work Our friends are conforming, but they've got a savings account Everyone feels they're destined for love But destiny's weird if it taught you to punch If a bird could be jealous, they would probably wanna run 'Cause they forget what it's like to fly [Pre Chorus] But I've got what I need With you next to me So why would we leave? [Chorus] You say it's not far away Why you wanna play it safe? We could wake up Where dreams are made of I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America Air Force Ones and Chevrolets Anytime you want it, babe We could wake up Where dreams are made of I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America, yeah I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America [Verse 2] Adaptability, accountability Accessibility, thinking politically Kids on a livestream with tears in their eyes SoHo house and a beachside drive Waterless cities Wine on ice Fifty million dollars on a football game Football fame, football fans Don't know if I wanna be a football man [Pre Chorus] 'Cause I got what I need With you next to me So why would we leave? (What I do know, is I love you) [Chorus] You say it's not far away Why you wanna play it safe? We could wake up Where dreams are made of I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America Air Force Ones and Chevrolets Anytime you want it, babe We could wake up Where dreams are made of I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America, yeah I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America [Bridge] Jesus loves you, yes he does I was born right in the sun On a back road in Boston Gold in my hair and a streak on my cheek I know we can make it, babe Come here and say my name On a back road in Wisconsin Gold in your hair, we can make it in America [Chorus] You say it's not far away Why you wanna play it safe? We could wake up Where dreams are made of I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America Air Force Ones and Chevrolets Anytime you want it, babe We could wake up Where dreams are made of I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America, yeah I'm not scared of your love I'm afraid of America
