Uh -huh, uh -huh, uh -huh,
uh -huh, uh uh -huh,
Sunshine in my eyes, birds sing lullabies
I can hear babies cry,
momma's hands are gettin' tired
No progress over here,
they set us back a hundred years
No dreamers anymore,
democracy is out the door
God only knows how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were America
Wake me up when it's done
When they block out the sun
When they whisper the story
How the West was won
In the blink of an eye
And a mountain of lies
We were sold down the river,
your land and mine
Disillusion, mass confusion
A constitution,
they're tryin' to burn it down
Are we livin' or bein' driven
Like sheep to slaughter,
I really wanna know
God only knows how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were America
God only knows how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were America
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
Hmmmmm
Ah ha ha
Mmm mmm
Uh -huh, uh -huh,
uh -huh, uh -huh, uh -huh, uh
Sunshine in my eyes, words and lullabies
I can hear babies cryin',
momma's hand gettin' tired
No progress over here, no,
said it back a hundred years
No dreamers anymore,
democracy is down the door
God only knows how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were
America, yeah
God only knows how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were
America, yeah
God only knows how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were America, huh
Yeah, God only knows
how I miss those days
She only knows how I miss
the way we were America, huh
America
