Jackson Browne - VOICE OF AMERICA lyrics

(from the B-side of the single "In The Shape Of A Heart"; peformed by Jackson Browne)

Little Steven's version appears on his album of the same name.

Can you hear me? Wake up!

Where's the voice of America?

Somebody help me, we gotta stop a crime

I been betrayed by my own kind

I been quiet, too quiet

While across the borderline

We die

Can you hear me? Wake up!

Where's the voice of America?

I know that we knew right from wrong once upon a time

Everything we stood for has been compromised

I been quiet, too quiet

While across our borderline

My people lie

Can you hear me? Wake up!

Where's the voice of America?

You're quiet, too quiet

Are you still alive

Inside

Can you hear me? Wake up!

We're the voice of America

We're the voice of America

We're the voice of America

We're the voice of America
