Another Day In America

Lyrics

His teacher says it's just a practice drill In spite of that, it scares him still So he tries his best To disappear beneath his desk If he can fit in perfectly He might not be another casualty Like those other kids If he can just stay hid Is this now what we call civilized? Becoming numb until we're desensitized? [Chorus] It's just another day in America Another piece of innocence is lost Just another day in America Another line we can't gеt back across But at what cost? Maria dreams of light up shoes With laces iridеscent blues Sure to light the street Like firecrackers on her feet Her mother smiles, trying to mask her doubts For fear her daughter might stand out And god forbid If she did This is where her child was born and raised Doesn't seem to matter much these days All she can do is pray [Chorus] It's just another day in America Another piece of innocence is lost Just another day in America Another line we can't get back across At what cost? So how am I supposed to love my brother When we can't even see each other? [Chorus] It's just another day in America Another piece of innocence is lost Just another day in America Another line we can't get back across At what cost? At what cost? At what cost? At what cost? At what cost? At what cost?
