America Lyrics by Deconstruction

Deconstruction

1994

I was America this morning
Driving just to drive, no destination in mind
Just spinning my wheels like I said
I was America this morning
I was America this morning
I was America

An overturned truck mess slowed up the highway
Like for a movie, a drive-in movie
Or a circus sideshow
We all waited for our turn to gawk

Four Mexican bodies
Laid out like battle casualties
A fireman on one knee
With hands filled with frightened bloody Mexican face

I rolled by
I rolled by
I rolled by

I rolled by eating my Egg McMuffin
And I didn't care for those few moments
I let Rome burn

Getting fatter and uncaring
Getting fatter and uncaring
I was America
I was America this morning
I was America this morning
I was America this morning
I was America this morning

I was America this morning
I was America this morning
I was America this morning
