the state of this country reminds me of a song

THIS IS NOT AMERICA
(David Bowie / Pat Metheny)


This is not America, sha la la la la

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not the miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea

This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la la]

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrow's clouds

A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not America

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la
This is not america, no, this is not
This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la]


the transcription may be off...3 different sites had 3 different instances of "peace" and "piece"
but you get the idea.....

1. I've been a Bowie fan from my youth,

and I think Major Tom would not recognize today's world.

and wonder about life on mars.
