Lyrics

[Intro] This is not America (Sha la la la la) [Verse 1] Little piece of you The little peace in me will die This is not a miracle For this is not America [Verse 2] Blossom fails to bloom this season Promise not to stare too long This is not America For this is not the miracle [Pre-Chorus] There was a time A storm that blew so pure For this could be the biggest sky And I could have the faintest idea [Chorus] For this is not America (Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la) This is not America, no This is not (Sha la la la la) [Verse 3] Snowman melting from the inside Falcon spirals to the ground This could be the biggest sky So bloody red, tomorrow's clouds [Verse 1] A little piece of you The little piece in me will die This could be a miracle For this is not America [Pre-Chorus] There was a time A wind that blew so young For this could be the biggest sky And I could have the faintest idea [Chorus] For this is not America (Sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la) This is not America, no This is not (Sha la la la) [Outro] This is not America, no This is not This is not America, no This is not (Sha la la la)
