Alice Peacock - I'll Start with Me lyrics

Well, we do okay with the things God gave us But will it be enough when it's time to save us One in three can't read, so many mouths to feed We just sit and wait like a loaded gun We cloak ourselves in the great tradition The United States of acquisition Every man for himself, it's just me and no one else Will we ever learn there's a price to pay America the free, wake up from your fantasy Is the nation so divided we can't see That there's work to be done, somethin' there for everyone I know I'll start with me Six o' clock it's another story A gunman down in a blaze of glory Only ten years old makes my blood run cold And the press descends like birds of prey And politicians stay in office Far too long to vote their conscience Lobbied, bought and sold, trading votes for gold They've forgotten that they work for us, yeah America the free, wake up from your fantasy Is the nation so divided we can't see That there's work to be done, somethin' there for everyone I know I'll start with me For the beast to stay alive, it has to feed That's why in times of peace, they create an enemy What we called the big red scare is just my neighbor over there With hopes and dreams, the same as me, the same as me America the free, wake up from your fantasy Is the nation so divided we can't see That there's work to be done, somethin' there for everyone I know I'll start with me, I'll start with me Well, we do okay with the things God gave us
