G
Calling out for change
              D
The American way
Find somebody else to blame
                             G
Let's sing a song, a better day

G
Out on every street
                      D
Bright lights, big screens
Is this really what it means
Oh, Mother pray

Lost America

From New Orleans to Bangladesh
From the East back to the West
Come with us and be the best
Make an enemy of all the rest

Summer of '69
A dream that barely survived
All these force bled alike
Lead us astray

Chorus

Let us pray

Wave the flag and grab your gun
Another war has begun
Now it's all been said and done
We all lose
Nobody won

Lost America
Lost America
Lost America
