The Business End - America Et Tu Lyrics

As we're looking out across the great divide
The misgivings of history we've all been trapped inside
Those who know the way, taken for a ride
And most of us have had no reason to smile for awhile

America, is that you?
I see stars in your eyes
Because I remember you before you showed your stripes

We'll see who opens up, we'll see who runs and hides
With ignorance in power there can be no compromise
Beneath the hate is pain, perpetual disaster
If only love could find a way they'd serve another master

America, is that you?
I see stars in your eyes
Because I remember you before you showed your stripes

This could be the end
Some of us cannot make amends
So ask yourself if love can win
Before the wages, the wages of our sin

Watch us flop like a fish
Left to die in a ditch
To be filled in and paved
Our empire, our grave
Watch us flop like a fish...
